I hold a BSc (2022) and MSc (2024) in Biochemistry, both from NOVA-FCT, with a final grade of 18/20 and 19/20, respectively. Currently, I am enrolled in an Initiation Course to Research in Biomolecular Sciences and working at Biochemistry and Bioenergetics of Heme Proteins Research Laboratory - UCIBIO (Applied Molecular Biosciences Research Unit). My research focuses essentially on the characterization of electroactive microorganisms - capable of converting chemical energy into electric current and plays a significant role in the biogeochemical cycling of metals, especially those that are toxic (such as uranium)- namely Geobacter species, using several biophysics techniques, with special emphasis on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) and Redox-Titrations followed by UV-Visible spectroscopy. As part of my academic accomplishments, I was awarded with a Merit Grant for being the student with the higher final grade in Chemistry Department (between 3 bachelors) and I received a scholarship for being the Best Science student to graduate in a BSc, at NOVA-FCT in 2021/2022. To date, I have published 2 papers in international peer-reviewed journals (1 as first author) and participate in national and international conferences with a total of three oral communications (as first author), two flash presentations (one as first author) and four poster communications (one as first author).
