I graduated in Chemical Engineering from Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (2001) and I was employed in at the industry between 2002 and 2006. Over these years I worked as a technical and sales manager at painting-anticorrosion industry. In 2007, with a thesis entitled ¿Electronic state spectroscopy of biological relevant molecules by synchrotron radiation: acetone and pyrimidine¿, I was awarded a master degree in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from Universidade NOVA de Lisboa. My MSc thesis studies were published in 3 international peer-reviewed journals, 2 PCCP articles and 1 Journal of Physics Conference proceeding article. In 2009 I completed the thesis on ¿Electron Driven Reactions in Complexes Embedded in Superfluid He Droplets¿, being awarded a PhD degree in Physics from the Universität Innsbruck, Austria. In 2009, I was awarded with a Young Scientist Award by the European Radiation Research Society, and during my PhD studies I have published more than 15 articles in international peer-reviewed journals with high impact factors, such as Angewandte Chemie Int. Ed, Chemistry A European Journal and PCCP. Due to the relevance of the research studies, one of these publications has been chosen as a PCCP hot topic and also highlighted in one of the journal¿s volume cover. Currently, I have 114 publications listed in the web of science, with a total of 1070 citations and an h-index of 19. I am co-author of three book chapters. I have presented 25 invited oral communications and seminars in national and international conferences and the international collaborations with several world leading groups have produced more than 150 poster presentations. Within the international context, I have acted as a Portuguese representative of several COST Actions. My international activities also include being a member, as well as chair of several international scientific conferences. Recently I was appointed member of the International Advisory Committee (IAC) of the International Symposium on Molecular Beams (ISMB), and I was a member of the general committee of the International Conference on Photonic, Electronic and Atomic Collisions ICPEAC (2013-2017). My research work has been developed in close collaboration with different universities, such as Univeristät Innsbruck, Austria, University of Iceland, Sophia University, Japan, University of Notre Dame, USA, University of Siedlce, Poland, University of Paraná, Curitba, University of São Paulo and University of Campinas, Brazil, Flinders University, Australia, University of Iceland and ISA, Center for Storage Ring Facilities, Aarhus, Denmark. Regarding supervision, I have tutored 15 master students in Engineering Physics and Biomedical Engineering, 6 PhD students (two within a bilateral project with Brazil in a ¿sandwich¿ scheme), 3 ongoing as well as participating in several evaluation panels for MSc, PhD and Research positions.. At the post-graduate level, I am part of the core team of the international Radiation Biology and Biophysics doctoral training program, in charge of Radiation Sciences lectures. I am the principal investigator of several research grants in a total of 663.1 k¿. Finally, other activities include peer-reviewing for different International Scientific Journals. I initiated my own research group on low energy electron interactions in gas phase, and developed and assembled the experimental crossed electron-molecule set-up (trochoidal electron monochromator coupled with orthogonal reflection time of flight). My research groupconsists on: 1 junior researcher, 3 PhD students, 2 master students and 2 under-graduated students.
