I have completed the MEng in Biomedical Engineering in 2009 at Universidade do Minho (Portugal) and the PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2013 at the same university. My major focus is in the area of Biomechanics and I currently combines research and lecturing duties, being Research Fellow (Investigador Integrado) at IDMEC - Instituto Superior Técnico - Universidade de Lisboa (since 2017) and Lecturer (Professor Adjunto) at Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal (since 2018). My international research experience includes a post-doctoral period at INSIGNEO - University of Sheffield (United Kingdom), between 2014 and 2017, and 2 research visits to Eindhoven University of Technology during the completion of my PhD degree (in 2011 and 2013, respectively). My research outputs include 26 peer-reviewed papers (14 as first author and 4 as senior author - publishing name: A. P. G. Castro). These represent a total of 445 citations according to Scopus, for an h-index of 12. Book chapters (as first author) are in the number of 3, and I have also participated as co-editor of 1 book and guest editor of 2 special issues in peer-reviewed journals. I have (co-)authored 45 papers in conference proceedings and I am also an active reviewer for 28 international journals. I am/was (co-)supervisor of 25 master students, 18 bachelor students, 8 research assistants and 3 PhD students. Lecturing-wise, I am currently the module leader of 8 curricular units, having been module leader for 3 other curricular units in previous years, in the areas of Mechanical, Biomedical and Materials Engineering. I have been involved in the organisation of 6 scientific and outreaching events, along with being (co-)organiser of 3 special sessions in international conferences. The impact of my research is also demonstrated by 8 invited talks and the (co-)chairing of 4 sessions in international conferences. I have received 2 honor mentions in national awards, plus the Seal of Excellence of the European Commission for his Marie Curie Individual Fellowship 2018 submitted project. My major keywords are: finite element modelling, intervertebral disc, constitutive modelling, biomechanics, tissue engineering and computational mechanics.
