Lectured within the MSc course in Forest Engineering and Natural Resources in the Curricular Unit of Forest Products Engineering I, in the School of Agronomy, University of Lisbon (2007-2017). Eurostar Eureka expert and one board member in the Division of Forest Materials of the Portuguese Materials Society. Member of the Scientific Committee in the 2012 IUFRO Conference (Division 5 - Forest Products). Honorable mention at "UTL Young Researcher award" (2009); Honorable mention by the competition of ideas and projects "Entrepreneurial Creativity" with Techsuber project (2008). FCT sponsored through PhD grant (SFRH/BD/31536/2006) - 2007-2011- and PostDoc grant (SFRH/BPD/76101/2011) - 2012-2017. The Doctor degree, obtained with honours, provided the competences on the technological properties of cork oak wood towards its use for solid wood products, including development of 3D modelling and simulation techniques for industrial conversion. A post-graduation in Materials Science and Engineering (Tecnico IST, UTL) enhanced the knowledge on composite and wood-based materials. At the basis was the master degree (5 years) as Forest Engineer with a specialization on Technology of Forest Products.
