Obtained his degree and master’s degree in Economics («Specialization in Economics of Growth and Structural Policies»), as well as a postgraduate degree in Social Economics from the Faculty of Economics of the University of Coimbra (FEUC). Later, he was awarded a PhD in Economic and Social History from the Lisbon School of Economics & Management (ISEG) at the University of Lisbon, and developed two post-doctorates – the first at GHES/CSG/ISEG/University of Lisbon research centre and the second at FEUC. Additionally, he attended various courses – such as The Specialization Course in Financial Auditing and Internal Control at APEU/FEUC, the Fast-Track MBA at IDEFE/ISEG and the Advanced Program in Diplomacy at IEP at Catholic University of Portugal.

Currently, he is working as a researcher at GHES/CSG/ISEG and RCM2+ research centres, and as a professor at the Lusófona University and the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, overseeing several curricular units across different courses. Notoriously, he wrote two books - Grande Guerra e Guerra Colonial: Custos para os Cofres Portugueses (Preface: Adriano Moreira) and Os Planos de Fomento do Estado Novo: Quantificação e Análise (Preface: Nuno Valério | Postface: Adriano Moreira) – and as a sole author, has published articles in various international scientific journals – European Review of Economic History; Defence and Peace Economics; Journal of Iberian and Latin American Economic History; Cogent Economics & Finance; Investigaciones de Historia Económica; Economies; The Journal of European Economic History, amongst others – as well as book chapters, working papers and technical bulletins. Lastly, he has also written several opinion articles for Portuguese newspapers - Diário Económico, Jornal Económico, ECO, NOVO Semanário and CNN Portugal – and appeared on Portuguese television, most notably on RTP 3 - an information program channel -, analysing current economic topics.
