I'm a Professor of Ecology and Marine Biology at Lusofona University, in Lisbon and a researcher at MARE - Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre. I am mostly a marine biologist and academic officer with 30+ years professional experience.
From 2018-2022, I was the Vice-Rector for research and internationalisation.
I have obtained in 2001 my PhD in biology from the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Since then I have coordinated or been involved in a number of international research projects in the field of marine biology. I’ve also authored or co-authored more than 70 peer reviewed papers, mostly on marine biology issues.
I also have 15+ years of assessment experience of both national and international R&D&I projects (FP4, Horizon 2020, Portuguese Innovation Agency, EEA Grants, Fundo Azul, PRR).
In 2011, I finished my duties as advisor to the former Portuguese Secretary of State for the Environment, Humberto Delgado Rosa. I was member of his cabinet since 2009, where I was responsible for marine, fisheries, agriculture and conservation issues.
In 2012, I also became a SCUBA diving instructor.
From 2013 to 2017, I was a programme manager at Gulbenkian Oceans Initiative (GOI), a five-year program of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation with a vision of protection, conservation and good management of the oceans and of marine ecosystems towards an ecosystem services' approach.
