I am a Principal Researcher and coordinator of the Deep-Sea Biodiversity and Conservation Team (DEEP) at CIIMAR, University of Porto (Portugal), and an Associate Professor of the University of Bergen (Norway). I hold a PhD in Biology (2009, University of Amsterdam) and a degree in Marine Biology (2003, University of Azores). My research focuses on the understanding of basin-scale diversity, biogeographic, and connectivity patterns of deep-sea species and habitats such as sponge grounds and coral gardens, using a combination of disciplines (taxonomy, systematics, ecology and genetics). I also strive to advance the science-policy-society interface, developing tools and exchanging knowledge to support the implementation of international agreements and instruments established to ensure sustainable management and conservation of deep-sea vulnerable marine ecosystems. I published over 60 scientific articles and reports, and (co-)supervised and mentored over 20 students from BSc to PhD levels. I co-coordinated the Horizon 2020 SponGES project (www.deepseasponges.org), and currently coordinate the Horizon Europe TwinDEEPS project, the SponBIODIV project (www.sponbiodiv.org) co-funded under the European Biodiversity Partnership (Biodiversa+), and the DEEPbaseline and DEEPrelicts projects, awardees of the Ocean Conservation Fund, and National Geographic, respectively. I collaborate with a vast network of scientists from around the globe, as well as with local fishing communities.
