Curriculum Vitae

Ana Luísa Felgueiras de Brito Machado

Ana Luísa Felgueiras de Brito Machado is an ecologist with a PhD in Biology (2015, University of Aveiro), a Master in Applied Ecology (2005, University of Porto) and a Degree in Biology (2000, University of Porto). Her main expertise is in freshwater ecology with a particular focus on 1) biodiversity and functional diversity patterns of benthic communities, and how these change in relation to anthropogenic and natural stressors, 2) ecotoxicology, including community and ecosystem function parameters. She has vast experience in macroinvertebrate community sampling and processing, taxonomic identification, River Habitat Survey and Water Framework Directive Assessment, and also aquatic ecotoxicological essays including mesocosms experiments. She has additional competencies and training in data analysis, including statistical modelling, hypothesis testing and multivariate statistics applied to diverse biological datasets. She is experienced in experimental design aiming at collecting high-quality, statistically valid data.
