I am currently an Assistant Researcher at ICArEHB, in Portugal, a research center for Archaeology and Human Evolution with European and worldwide reach. I am also a Visitor Assistant Professor at the University of Algarve where I teach Introduction to Archaeology, Archaeological Theory, Lithic Analysis, and Quantitative Analysis in Archaeology. Since the beginning of my Ph.D. I have been involved in a great number of multidisciplinary projects, both in Iberia and in Southeastern Africa (Mozambique), in which I have been responsible for the design and management of field and laboratory work as well as lithic and spatial analysis. Projects in Iberia include the excavation of Middle and Upper Paleolithic open-air and cave sites, as well as highly complex stratified Mesolithic shell-middens. In Mozambique, I have participated in several field survey seasons and found and tested LSA and MSA sites in several regions across the country. I have a lot of experience using total stations for the excavation of complex archaeological sites and using different computational tools to record, manage, and statistically analyze field and laboratory data. I consider myself a focused and organized researcher, with high levels of self-motivation, critical thought, ambition, and enthusiasm to take on responsibilities. My publication record counts with 5 books/edited volumes, 43 publications in peer-reviewed journals, and 51 other publications as first author or in collaboration. I also have more than 170 public presentations at international professional conferences and invited seminars. Since December 2022 I have been the Director of ICArEHB - Interdisciplinary Center for Archaeology and Evolution of Human Behavior, at the University of Algarve, one of the main European research centers in Prehistoric Archaeology and Human Evolution.
