I received a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Lisbon in 2002. The thesis focused on the distribution of dinoflagellate cysts along the coast of Portugal, and the importance of resting stages on the dynamics of regional harmful algal blooms (HABs). My current research interests include diversity and ecology of phytoplankton and microphytobenthos in Portuguese coastal waters, with emphasis on HABs. The main focus is on the understanding of the ecological significance of different life-cycle stages in HAB bloom dynamics and species dispersal. The research approach includes present day observations and looking back into the history of blooms using the fossil record of dinoflagellate cysts. As a result of my research activities I have built, at the University of Lisbon, a culture collection of marine microalgae from Portuguese coastal waters to support applied and fundamental research in phycology and contribute to the ex-situ conservation of regional biodiversity. The collection supports a new line of research focused on biotechnological applications of marine microalgae, namely pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical and feed for shellfish and finfish aquaculture. Other research topics include the study of non-indigenous species (NIS) and possible introduction vectors.
