I am an ecologist with a keen interest in community ecology to unveil the functioning of ecological processes that rule the world around us, and how this can be used in the context of conservation. I graduated in Biology from the University of Coimbra, Portugal, in 2016 and got a Master in Ecology from the same university in 2009. In 2014 I obtained my PhD in Ecology from the University of Bristol, United Kingdom. Over the last years my research has focused on the application of network theory to understand the consequences of species interaction patterns on the functioning of ecological processes. I am interested in understanding how different disturbances, whether human induced or of natural origin, can affect natural systems and how these systems can recover from such disturbances. I have a deep interest in exploring different aspects of ecological networks, such as to identify the drivers that lead, or constrains, the establishment of interactions, or how networks will perform, which can bring important insights into the routes of community assembling and disassembling. Most recently I have been interested in the potential of a multilayer approach to study ecological networks in their multiple dimensions: space, time and also considering several types of interactions simultaneously. For this, I have been taking advantage of recent developments in the field of multilayer network analysis gathering knowledge from a range of of seemingly unrelated research areas (e.g. physics, transportation, neuroscience, social sciences).
