-- In 2003, I completed a Ph.D. in BioOrganic Chemistry at the Univ. of Bern, CH. In the following 6 years, as a pos-doc at ITQB-­UNL, I completely changed my scientific path to a new field, towards molecular modelling and simulation. In 2009, I was awarded my first FCT-funded contract as an independent researcher at the Faculty of Sciences, Univ. of Lisbon (FCUL), and the Machuqueiro Lab (http://mms.rd.ciencias.ulisboa.pt) was born. Since then, I have consolidated my scientific independence and transitioned to a group leader status, supported by the funding obtained over the years and the collaboration of many bright young students who have since joined the group. -- During my research career, I have authored and co-authored 96 papers/book chapters in high-impact peer-­reviewed international journals, an h-index of 32 (in G.Scholar), and a total number of citations of ~3200, giving an average of ~33 citations per paper. I also supervised 5 postdoc researchers, 14 Ph.D. theses (4 completed & 10 ongoing), and 19 MSc theses. I have secured 4 FCT-funded projects as a PI (PTDC/QUI­BIQ/113721/2009: €150k; PTDC/QEQ­COM/5904/2014: €185k; 2021.09635.CPCA: €12k; and 2022.15878.CPCA: €10k), 5 as co-PI/Team member (total: €666k; ~100k for my group), which supported the creation of a competitive computational infrastructure (the BioISI cluster with ~2500 cores & ~40 GPU units), which I manage and is currently being shared with several groups of my research unit (BioISI). -- My work on the development of constant­-pH MD methodologies applied to the water/membrane interface has become internationally recognized in the area of biomolecular electrostatics. This internationalization is clearly illustrated by the invitation to become editor of PlosOne, JCBC, and JMBi, and to review papers in very prestigious journals like JACS, JCTC, JCIM, Nature Sci. Rep., Biochemistry, JPhysChemLett, JPhysChemB, PlosOne, etc. I have also been invited to give talks at several expert meetings in the USA (''Proton Transfer in Biology'', 2010, CO; ''ACS Fall Meeting'', 2013, Indianapolis, IN; and the ''Protein Electrostatics'' (PE) in 2017, 2019, and 2022, Telluride, CO), and in Europe (''PE'' meetings, 2014, Lisbon, PT; 2016, Berlin, DE; 2018, Belgrade, SR; 2021, Genova, IT, ''webinar''), and 2023, Genova, IT. In addition, I have ~30 other invited oral presentations in national and international venues. I have also organized the international ''Protein Electrostatics'' meeting where the most influential researchers in this field gathered in Lisbon. I represented Portugal in the management committee of two COST Actions, CM1102 ''MultiGlycoNano'' and CA21162 "COZYME", which just started. I am also a member of 2 other ongoing COST Actions (CA18113 and CA21164). I was involved in an NIH grant approval (R01GM073857) in collaboration with Prof. Don Engelman (Yale) and I am also a member of the local cluster at FC.ID/ULisboa for HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ACCESS-03, Project ID: 101079147 "Twinning for excellence in biophysics of protein interactions and self-assembly (TWIN2PIPSA)". I have a long tradition of participating in presentations for university students, intended to give an overview of the biomolecular modeling scientific area. Concerning the general public, I regularly participate in school presentations, public exhibitions, and other events.
