I am an Assistant Researcher at the Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies (CESAM) and the Biology Department, at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, hired under the Scientific Employment Stimulus (CEEC 2020). Since 2014, I hold a PhD in Biology (specialization in microbiology), from the University of Aveiro, Portugal. I have participated in several projects hired under their scope or as team member, financed by FCT , LabEx DRIIHM, and European commission. Currently I am PI of 1 project financed by the international entity LabEx DRIIHM-FR, participate in 1 Joint Project Initiative between FCT and the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), in 1 LabEx DRIIHM-FR and in 2 COST actions (CA21145 - European Network for diagnosis and treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections (EURESTOP); CA22142 - Beneficial root-associated microorganisms for sustainable agriculture (ROOT-BENEFIT) . I have co-authored 50 papers in Web of Science (WoS) journals, with an h-index of 23 (WoS, November 2024) and presented over 50 communications in international and national meetings. I supervise/co-supervise 3 PhD, and 5 Msc students, and has supervised 2 PhD and 17 MSc. Area of expertise: Microbiology; Research interests: antibiotic resistance and public health; resistance mechanisms and dissemination; human impact on the environmental resistome; emerging contaminants; urban microbiome; microbial-assisted solutions; microbial-plant interactions
