I got my BSc in physics with minor in chemistry at Porto University, Portugal, in 2010 with a final grade of 18 out of 20. I pursued my studies at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in a European Master in theoretical and computional chemistry, finishing with a final grade of 9.4 out of 10. This hybrid formation in Physics and Chemistry provide me with a broad background in Physics, Chemistry and Computational Techniques. In 2012, I joined the group of Prof. Fernando Martín and started my PhD thesis under the subject of “Study of diatomic molecules under intense laser pulses”. I was awarded with a PhD grant from the Portuguese governmentin 2012, where I was placed first in the area of Physics. Within the research done in my PhD thesis, I learned and mastered the area of Strong Field Physics and a special emphasis was given to High Performance Computing to solve quantum dynamics problems. Some important contributions to the topic of correlated electron and nuclear dynamics upon laser excitation were published including one Phys. Rev. Letters. Also work on the high harmonic spectroscopy in diatomic molecules resulting in a publication in Scientific Reports. During my PhD, I co-supervised the Master Thesis of Manuel Lara-Astiaso on the topic of HHG in H2+ using chirped laser pulses, work published in Phys. Rev. Letters. After the completion of my PhD in 2016, I moved to the Max Born Institut, Berlin, where I started working with Prof. Mikhail Ivanov on the subject of high harmonic generation in solids. A ground breaking work published in 2018 in Nature Photonics on the high harmonic generation spectroscopy of ultrafast phase transition is now opening the door for experiments in which phase transitions can be resolved in time by looking at the HHG response. A recent work, published in Nature Photonics in 2019 on high harmonic generation on topological insulators provide new ways to probe topological phase transitions. In 2018, I moved to Madrid, to the group of Johannes Feist, and started to study ultrafast molecular polaritonics, recently introducing an original setup for the study of ultrafast molecular dynamics using plasmonic nanocavities, arXiv:1907.12607 recently accepted in Nature Communications. Regarding scientific publications, I have published 13 peer-reviewed publications, including many high-impact papers ( 3 Nature Photonics, 2 Physical Review Letters and 1 Nature Communications). Among these 13 publications, 1 is currently in press (Nature Communications). These publications provide the following quality indices (data last updated 17.02.2020): Sum of the Times Cited: 163 (Web Of Science), 229 (Google Scholar) h-index: 6 (Web of Science), 7 (Google Scholar) i10-index: 6 (Web of Science), 7 (Google Scholar) Average Citations per Article: 20.4 (Web of Science) Of these 12 publications, eight are first-author papers (2 Nature Photonics and 1 Nature Communications also as corresponding author, PRL, 2 PRA, PRB also as corresponding author, Scientific Reports and JPCA). I have presented my work at over 30 international conferences, workshops, and seminars, with 6 invited conference talks.
