He is an Integrated Member of the Chemistry Research Unit of University of Porto (CIQUP) since 2016, and a Collaborator at GreenUPorto since 2018. Via CIQUP, he is also member of Associated Laboratory Institute of Molecular Sciences (IMS). He is the Principal Investigator of one ongoing FCT-funded research project, being a participant in 14 other R&D projects, including 3 in collaboration with Industry (EU-funded). He is/was the supervisor/cosupervisor of 2 post-docs, 9 PhD, 26 MSc and 29 BSc thesis. He was also the supervisor of 8 MSc and BSc extracurricular internships (7 concluded). Finally, he tutored several high-school students in different projects at CIQUP. He is a Topical Advisory Panel Member in international peer-reviewed Journals, while having been Guest Editor in different special issues in international journals. He is the speaker in 14 invited and 23 other oral scientific communications. He possesses an international patent. He has received 13 distinctions, including making the "World's Top 2% Scientists list" in the year 2022. He has been an arguer in PhD/MSc/BSc thesis, and member and president of hiring, thesis and degree recognition juries. He has been an external reviewer in various calls for the Polish National Science Centre. He has reviewed for journals as ACS Appl Mater Interfaces, Adv Funct Mater, J Mater Chem B, Small, J Env Eng Chem, Acc Chem Res, Environ Sci Technol, ChemCatChem, ChemSusChem, Angewandte Chemie, ChemComm, Adv Mater and ACS Sustain Chem Eng.
