As a researcher at MARE Centre, University
of Lisbon, I am graduated in Environmental Engineering (University of the
Azores, Portugal, 2002), have a master’s degree in Fisheries and Aquaculture
(Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, 2009) and nowadays I am finishing
my PhD. in Marine Sciences (Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon). I am
developing my research at MARE – Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre and
at The Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP), CA, EUA. My
PhD research is related to the development and application of biotic indices
regarding ecological quality of aquatic ecosystems in the aim of the Water
Framework Directive, using benthic macrofauna based on morphological and
genetic ID. I had participated, as a team member and/or
collaborator, in several national and international projects, such as EFICAS,
3M-Recital, OASIS, EEMA, BIOMONIT TEJO, MESCLA, PROTECTINVAD, among other
monitoring projects; and as coordinator of the Monitoring program of the
aquatic ecosystem regarding the New Airport of Lisbon and Monitoring the
biological communities of the Vizela River. I have proven experience in science
communication to a wide variety of audiences acquired i) while coordinating
and/or participating in a high number of outreaching activities, especially
in activities developed in beaches, ii) as a coordinator and trainer of
several accredited training courses for schoolteachers, iii) while attending
conferences and workshops as an invited speaker, and iv) as a participant in
work meetings with public and private entities. I have also proven experience
in the development of science communication products, such as field guides
for non-specialized audiences. For several years, I worked as an assistant
professor at the Agrarian Sciences Department, University of Azores, teaching
Organic Chemistry, General and Organic Chemistry, Analytical Control of the
Environment, Laboratory Techniques II and Toxicology and Public Health. I have proven ability to supervise
efficiently several students from the program “Ciência Viva in the
Laboratory”, during several years have successfully accomplished their tasks
and two graduate students from Umweltwissenschaften-Environmental Sciences,
Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburgin and from Lusófona University, Lisbon,
had also accomplished their tasks. I have publications in international
peer-reviewed journals relevant within my expertise area and others, such as
Ecological Indicators, Ecological Coast and Shelf Science, Journal of Sea
Research, and Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment; I have co-authored
and/or participated in several technical reports and book chapters which have
benefited from my expertise on intertidal areas. I have participated in
scientific conferences with oral and poster communications, and I am a
regular referee in top scientific journals.
