I am currently doing a PhD in Biosciences at the University of Coimbra. I completed the Master's Degree in Ecology in 2018 and the Bachelor's Degree in Biology in 2016, both at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra . My research interests are Ecology, Estuarine Ecology, Ecotoxicology, Marine Bivalves, Nutritive Value, Biochemical Composition and Aquaculture.
