I graduated in Geophysical Sciences from the Lisbon University in 1992 and completed a MsC (DEA) degree in Ocean Sciences from University of Brest (Brittany, France) in 1993 and a PhD degree in 1998 from the same University, in Marine Geophysics. The beginning of my career was devoted to problems of Marine Geophysics, namely electromagnetic methods to study the Marine lithosphere and mantle. From 2006 onwards, I moved my scientific activity to the physical oceanography, specializing in numerical modelling of the ocean, using state of the art tools based on the regional ocean modelling system, ROMS-CROCO. In 2007-2012, I earned a five-years Ciência 2007 research contract, at the Center for environmental and marine studies (CESAM) of the university of Aveiro, under the subject: Global Change observatory and Marine Biodiversity, where I developed the main lines of my career becoming an researcher in ocean modelling and its applications to interdisciplinary problems. After working in a MarPro (Life) project in 2013 and in LarvalSources (FCT) in 2014-15 in larval dispersal problems, during 2016-2017 I worked, in the Marine Research Institute IIM-CSIC-Vigo (Spain), in the framework of Mytiga project, performing numerical modelling of Galician Rias, applied to aquaculture, and in the University of Vigo (Spain) during 2017-19, under contract of ARIOS project, studying ocean acidification. In 2019-2020 I worked back in CESAM as researcher of MarRisk (Interreg-Poctep) project, in ocean climate change and risk issues, and so far I have worked in stalked barnacle connectivity issues, in the framework of PERCEBES (Biodiversa) project. I supervise 5 PhD students (2 concluded and 3 ongoing), and several Master students, providing also support to PhD students of the group, and has participated in 15 research projects. I published 38 Papers in Marine Geophysics, Physical Oceanography and Marine Biology subjects, with 474 citations and h_index=12
