I have a BSc in Physics from the University of Porto, an MSc in Nuclear and Particle Physics from the University of Lisbon, and a PhD in Physics Engineering from the University of Lisbon. In recent years, I've made a name for myself in the field of ion beams and accelerator-based technologies, with a focus on plasma-facing component research. In 2009, I started research at CTN (formerly ITN) on magnetic nanolayers of wide-band gap semiconductors for spintronic applications. During this time, I worked as a Van de Graff accelerator operator, specialising in the operation of the detector, electronic, and nuclear acquisition systems, and participated in two runs of real-time beam emission channelling experiments to the structural location at CERN's ISOLDE facility. As part of my MSc thesis, I contributed to the European SPIRIT project, which increased my knowledge of ion beam techniques. During my participation in the Ion Beam Laboratory's Joint European Torus (JET) work project, I developed an interest in the investigation of materials for fusion reactors. I managed the installation, testing, and implementation of the JET chamber, as well as the creation of a new ion beam analysis (IBA) beamline for surface analysis of tiles and samples subjected to JET campaigns with the ITER-Like Wall. The FCT financed my PhD thesis. The APPLAuSE programme culminated in a thesis titled "Study of irradiation effects in tungsten and production of tungsten alloys for fusion devices". My research interests include the development and production of new materials (composites and alloys) for plasma reactors, as well as their performance under extreme conditions (temperature and particle irradiation) during controlled thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen isotopes. To improve the accuracy of the IBA techniques employed in the analyses, I examined many cross-sections of elements and isotopes relevant to fusion. I received a CRP from the IAEA for "Development and Application of Ion Beam Techniques for Materials Irradiation and Characterization Relevant to Fusion Technology" due to my contribution to the characterisation of plasma-facing components utilising ion beam and section and phase measurement. This CRP will enable the international IBA community to understand, assess, and interpret ion-induced radiation damage in fusion-relevant materials. The work plan includes experiments to generate new nuclear data, such as measurements and/or validation of new/existing reaction cross sections and stopping powers, as well as the development of global standards and methods for reliable measurements and analysis techniques. My strong experience in nuclear physics, ion beam methods, and structural materials characterisation, as well as my knowledge of irradiated materials, provide the foundation for developing the hard research line proposed in this proposal. Since February 2023, I've worked as an auxiliary researcher at the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). This position is an excellent complement to my scientific accomplishments, and my solid background, combined with my extensive international experience, will allow me to develop challenging research lines in the above topics of interest, thereby contributing to the consolidation of Departamento de Engenharia e Ciências Nucleares (DECN) and Instituto Superior Técnico within the ion beam community and strengthening their position in the EUROfusion programme. I've 59 papers published in international journals, with over 1325 citations and an H-index: 20 (https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=54583124100)
