I am an all-round biologist with specialization and long-term experience in Entomology and Evolution. I have experience with Curatorship, Systematics, Phylogeny, Biogeography, Ecology, Agronomy, Ecotoxicology, Biological control, and Science Communication. In the last 10 years I have been engaged in different national projects in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Portugal, including European projects. In the last 5 years I have dedicated myself to studies in biological control of pests, and invasive species such as the Vespa velutina nigrithorax, in addition to collaborate in projects with ecotoxicology and ecology of honeybees. Since 2021, I have participated in three projects related with the V. v. nigrithoras invasion in Portugal: two regional projects for the assessment of the distribution of V. v. nigrithorax; and as researcher of one national project (CONTROLVESPA - Development of strategies for the CONTROL of VESPA velutina invasion, PTDC/CTA-AMB/2123/2020), that aims to develop new technology/techniques for the detection and elimination of nests, in a more effective and environmental conscious control of V. v. nigrithorax. I am a member of the COLOSS Vespid Taskforce, that aims to to discuss, coordinate, and implement practical actions to reduce damage to bees from vespid species of concern. Currently I am scientific researcher at the Centre for Functional Ecology - Science for People & the Planet, Department of Life Sciences, University of Coimbra within the scope of FCT's scientific employment.
