In 1995 I graduated (4 year degree) in Marine Biology and Fisheries at University of Algarve. My gradation end with the presentation of a thesis that was developed in Portuguese Institute of Fisheries research (IPMA-IPIMAR) that focus on the ecological impact and selectivity of dredge gears. Due to my capabilities as young research I was invited to work as researcher at Portuguese Institute of Fisheries research (IPMA-IPIMAR). There, I have worked as benthic ecologist and after in studies related to fishing ecology/biology, small scale fishing etc. I didn’t stop to invest in my research carer. Therefore, I post-graduate in Geographical Information Systems in 2003 at "Universidade Nova de Lisboa". Latter I did the master’s in marine Ecology (2004) in University of Coimbra and award PhD in Marine sciences and Populations Dynamic (fisheries sciences) in 2009 at university of Algarve. After the PhD I was invited to work in UNESCO-International Center of ECOHYDROLOGY as coordinator of the scientific area. This position as allow me to enrich my perception about Climate Change and fisheries, team leadership, science extension to broad society and work at multidisciplinary groups. In 2010 I award a international post-doc (CCMAR-UALG & Institute of Marine Research, Norway) and in 2016 a 2nd international postdoc (CCMAR & University of Vancouver) both on these related to fisheries and the role of Climate change in fisheries impact. In 2017 I start to work as researcher at University of Algarve where I was also invited to lecture several disciplines in Marine Biology/ecology and fisheries. Given my scientific trajectory I become skilful on geospatial-databases, data mining, geo-statistical tools, time-series analysis, ecological modelling, stock assessment. Currently my research is focus on the assessment of climate change in fisheries and fisheries ecology and biology. I aimed to evaluate the ecological and socio-economic vulnerability of climate change in marine systems/communities and socio-economic systems. Presently I also focus my research on artisanal coastal and estuarine fisheries, including socioeconomic of fisheries communities. I participated in 38 projects (scientific, technical), organized courses (4), conferences, participated in 35 advanced scientific courses, posters (40) and oral presentations (57) in international/national conferences. I am currently the PI(co-PI) of several ongoing projects. In 2017 I was invited to become leader group of ECOREACH at CCMAR (https://www.ccmar.ualg.pt/en/list/grid_groupleaders). I published more than 80 indexed papers (H=20), 5 as single authors, I have edit special issue/s in several journals and I have produced several technical-scientific reports (34). I am a reviewer of several journals (24). I have been enrolled in multi consultancy works also and in outreach scientific activities for specific target audiences (fisheries) and other stakeholder (municipality, industry, society). I have contributed to divulgate my/institutional research at different media levels, TV, radio, magazines etc. During my career I supervise Undergraduate students (14), master (16); phd(6) and postdocs (4).
