My career has spanned several sectors of professional activity, crossing different scientific fields such as political science, international relations, European studies, and religious studies. On a scientific level, I have a PhD in Political Science, a master’s in law, and a degree in Political Science and International Relations from NOVA University Lisbon. During my doctorate, I was awarded a scholarship at UFSC - Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil), sponsored by the Erasmus Mundus Program (14-16) and by the FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology (16-19). I had also the chance to be a researcher for the project Religion and Public Space (Catholic University of Portugal - UCP, 17-19) and the Charter of Religions Odivelas (Lusófona University, 22-23). Furthermore, I was a visiting scholar at Sciences Po Paris - University of Poitiers (2014), a national correspondent for EUREL, University of Strasbourg (17-19) and I am currently a Guest Lecturer at the Basic Command Course of the Portuguese Air Force Academy (since 2024). At the university level, I have held several positions in study cycles, university council, and research centers, which have been combined with my teaching duties. I am currently an assistant professor at Lusófona University, where I also serve as Director of the BA in Political Science and International Relations, the MA in Science of Religions, and the BA in European Studies and International Relations. I'm currently a researcher at LusoGlobe where I'm a member of the Centre's Board of Directors. I’m also a member of the Centre for Global Studies (Universidade Aberta - UAb) and IPRI - Portuguese Institute of International Relations (NOVA University), where I collaborate on different research lines. As well as working in academia, I've had the opportunity to work in different sectors of activity. I was Chargé de Mission (R&D) at UP Portugal (11-14), Political Affairs Attaché at the Belgian Embassy in Portugal (19-20), and Research Policy Officer (20-21) at the Portuguese Permanent Representation to the European Union during the Presidency of the Council of the EU.
