He is Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto where he runs the Imaging Module of the PhD in Cardiovascular Sciences Program. He is member of the Cardiovascular R&D Unit this Faculty where he is the main responsible for a research line focusing in cardiovascular imaging. He is member of the Center for Research in Health Technologies and Information Systems. Post-graduated in Management and Direction of Health Services - Porto Business School (2018). Before achieving his PhD with the thesis “Optimizing Myocardial Ischemia Detection Using Advanced Cardiac Imaging” (2014), he successfully completed his Master degree in Molecular Medicine (2009). He is also post-graduated in Sports Medicine (2002) and Forensic Medicine (1999). Graduation in Medicine was achieved in 1997. He works as consultant cardiologist since 2006, being currently responsible for two different cardiovascular MR and CT Programs: “Hospital Lusíadas Porto” and “Grupo Trofa Saúde”. He gained experience in CT and CMR in Mount Sinai Hospital, New York and in the Division of Imaging Sciences of Kings College London, having worked as an honorary consultant cardiologist in Guys and St.Thomas’ NHS Trust, London, UK from 2008 to 2010. He has level III certification in CMR and cardiac CT. He is the immediate past vice-president of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology, president of the Portuguese Congress of Cardiology 2016 and the immediate past national coordinator of the Working Group of Nuclear Cardiology, Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Cardiovascular CT. Director of the annual courses on CMR and Cardiac CT of the Cardiovascular Academy of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology. He is Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology, of the American College of Cardiology, Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance and of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography.
