Curriculum Vitae

Sofia Teives Henriques

Sofia Teives Henriques is an Assistant Professor at the University of Porto and an integrated researcher at cefUP . She holds a Ph.D. in Economic History from Lund University (2011), a master's in Economics, Energy, and Environmental Policies from ISEG, and an Economics Degree from ISCTE (2001). Before joining the University of Porto, she conducted postdoctoral research at the Department of Business Economics at the University of Southern Denmark (2012-2014), was a researcher at Lund University (2015-2020), and was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge (2016), Rachel Carson Center in Munich (2017) and University Paris Diderot (2018). She has published 15 international peer-reviewed articles ( 11 of the articles are listed in Q1 in JCR from Clarivate , 12 are Q1 in Scimago and 7 of them are ABS category 3 and 4), 2 books, 3 book chapters and several short pieces of popular science. Her research is published in journals such as Economic History Review, European Review of Economic History, Energy Policy, Energy Economics, and Ecological Economics. She has taught bachelor and master courses on World and Portuguese Economic History, Energy Economics and Policy , and Sustainable Development and supervised 15 completed master thesis on economic history, energy, innovation, and sustainability topics. Her main interests lie in the intersection between energy and natural resources, technological change, long-term economic growth, and environmental sustainability. One main research area deals with Portuguese and European long-term economic development, with a focus on industrialization and the role of energy and technology adoption as a driver of economic growth. A second research topic investigates how different socio-economic drivers and energy and climate policies impact the sustainability of energy systems over space and time.
