I am a highly accomplished chemist with extensive research experience in the areas of molecular magnetism, inorganic molecules, materials, and catalysis. I obtained my PhD in Chemistry from the University College Dublin in 2010, where I was a part of the ERA-Chemistry transnational scheme under the guidance of Prof. Grace Morgan. Following my doctoral studies, I pursued postdoctoral research positions at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology with Prof. Mario Ruben and the University of Lisbon with Prof. Maria José Calhorda, where I established my own research line on molecular magnetism and the use of paramagnetic molecules as catalysts for activation of small molecules. In 2019, I secured a highly competitive CEEC Individual research position at the Auxiliary Researcher level, and I currently lead the Inorganic Molecules and Materials lab as well as co-coordinate the Inorganic and Organometallic Architectures, Reactivity, and Catalysis group and the Synthesis, Catalysis and Reactivity thematic line at “Centro de Química Estrutural”. As a lecturer, I have taught both undergraduate and graduate courses, including practical inorganic chemistry, chemical systems and reactivity, supramolecular chemistry and nanochemistry, and molecular magnetism and luminescence. I have also supervised over 30 students at various academic levels. Currently my research group is composed by one junior researcher, two PhD students, two visiting PhD students, two MSc students and three project students. Throughout my career, I have been an active participant in numerous national and European-level projects, including serving on the management committee of COST actions and winning the 2017 Arthur E. Martell Early Career Researcher Prize, which led to my appointment to the editorial boards of esteemed journals such as Sustainability and Frontiers in Inorganic Chemistry. Additionally, I have organized international workshops and meetings, delivered numerous invited lectures and seminars, and authored about 40 peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals, 15 of which I served as corresponding author.
