I completed my degree in biochemistry in 2014 and my master’s degree in chemistry in 2018, both at the University of Évora. Currently, I work as a research fellow at the PratyOmics project (PTDC/ASP-PLA/0197/2020) and am attending the PhD in Chemistry at the University of Évora. I worked as a research trainee on four different projects in an academic environment, and I also have experience in industry. I participated in four national projects and collaborated on one European project. I have eighteen publications, one conference abstract and one conference paper as a co-author, and thirteen conference posters, of which ten as a first author. I have nine communications at international events. I have published three articles in journals, two as the first author, and the first article of my PhD thesis has been submitted. I have eight oral communications, two of which as a co-author. I have participated in the organization of four events: two international symposiums and two national meetings. I am co-supervising one work of course completion for the LSc/BSc. I have participated in seventeen events, of which six were international. I work mainly in the areas of chemistry, analytical chemistry, polymer sciences, organic chemistry, and biological sciences such as biochemistry and molecular biology.

2024/05/18 - 2024/05/24 The first IN2PAST Doctoral School will take place from 18 to 24 May 2024, in association with the Immaterial Festival (17 to 25 May) and Évora 27 - European Capital of Culture. It is designed so that doctoral students can develop a holistic and critical perspective on heritage conservation, restoration or revitalisation practices, from the study of the conception of a particular "object" as heritage to the design of practices and policies associated with its safeguarding, thus contributing to "an ecology of heritage practices".
