I graduated in Chemistry in 2007 from the Instituto Superior Técnico - Technical University of Lisbon (Portugal) after conducting the MSc thesis at the Vienna University of Technology (Austria) during an Erasmus Internship (one-year). I earned my PhD in Chemistry from the Instituto Superior Técnico - Technical University of Lisbon (Portugal) in 2012 with the highest final mark, Pass with Distinction. My studies were further recognized with a European honour as result of a three-month stay at the prestigious Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung (Germany). The work developed in my PhD thesis focused on the synthesis, reactivity and applications of zirconium and copper complexes incorporating cyclam-based ligands. From 2013 to 2018, I did a Postdoc in Chemistry at Centro de Química Estrutural of the Instituto Superior Técnico (Portugal) focusing my research work on the syntheses and characterization of biologically relevant azarings. During that period, I was also able to develop new concepts on the design and synthesis of organic molecules after a research stay at the Organic Synthesis group of the University of Vienna (Austria). At the end of 2018, and after an international competitive call, I was awarded with a six-year Researcher position at the Associação do Instituto Superior Técnico para a Investigação e Desenvolvimento (Portugal). This role allowed me to continue developing novel compounds for biological applications, significantly expanding my expertise in bioinorganic chemistry and broadening my connections within national and international networks. During the last years I have acquired various skills and competences in laboratorial management, research planning and execution as well as in scientific writing and reporting. The accumulated experience on the synthesis and characterization of organic, organometallic and polymeric compounds acquired over the last years gives me proficiency in several spectroscopic and crystallographic techniques. The results of my research work were published as book chapters and papers in international peer-reviewed scientific journals and presented in several conferences and meetings as oral and/or poster communications. I have also supervised the laboratorial work of several BSc, MSc and Erasmus students as well as MSc and PhD theses. Through my affiliation to various scientific associations (College of Chemistry of ULisboa, Portuguese Chemical Society and Portuguese Club of Mineralogy) I have been involved in activities related to the dissemination of knowledge to the society being regularly invited to participate and promote chemical sessions and talks to the public at the National Museum of Natural History and Science. In a competition for innovative ideas promoted by the Technical University of Lisboa, I received an award for the implementation of the entrepreneurship project SYNTHETA - Tailored Chemicals. This was a key-point to start collaborating with renowned chemical companies (e.g. GALP, HOVIONE and Proterris) working on the design, synthesis and characterization of new compounds to respond to specific customer needs that ranges from drugs to catalysts. Recently, I got a national patent granted to protect the utilization of azamacrocycles and their compositions with antifouling activity.
