I am currently a member of the Communications Office of cE3c - Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes, based at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (Portugal).
Both as a scientific researcher and, more recently, as a science communicator, I enjoy understanding the whys of things. I am passionate about the challenge of communicating them in to different publics, in a way that is simultaneously engaging and scientifically rigorous.
In 2012 I have finished a PhD in Physics (Evolutionary Game Theory and Network Science) by the University of Lisbon (Portugal). Between 2013 and 2014 I pursued a postdoc at the University of Aveiro (Portugal) in the same research area. I have published research articles in renowned international scientific journals.
I have recently decided to devote myself entirely to science communication, area in which I have a Master by the New University of Lisbon. I had the honor of wining Famelab Portugal 2014 and represented Portugal in the International Final in the Cheltenham Science Festival. In 2015 I had the honor of being a member of the jury of Famelab Portugal.
From September 2014 to September 2015 I have worked at the Scientific Culture and Outreach Unit of the Pavilion of Knowledge - Ciência Viva (Lisbon, Portugal), where I have been responsible for several science communication projects, detailed here.
