Degree in Renewable Energy Engineering (2016-2019) and Master in Solar Energy Engineering (2019-2021), both from the University of Évora, School of Sciences and Technologies. At the end of his degree he developed a project on the use of photovoltaic solar energy for the pumping, treatment and desalination of water for agricultural use in a real case in Ribeira de Vinha, São Vicente, Cape Verde. The master's thesis was carried out on the topic “Modeling of volumetric solid matrix solar receivers based on reduced order models”. He is currently a student in the PhD Program in Mechatronics and Energy Engineering, Specialty in Energy, at the University of Évora. He carries out research in the Energy Group of the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Évora as part of his doctoral work.
