I obtained my PhD degree in Physics Engineering from Universidade NOVA de Lisboa in December 2017. I did my PhD project Advances in solar-pumped laser efficiency and brightness in the Laser Technology laboratory of CEFITEC on the framework of the PhD studentship grant SFRH/BD/90410/2012 from FCT. I continued to work with this group without funding until May 2019, when I signed a Junior Researcher contract (CEECIND/03081/2017) for six years (Ongoing) through FCT funding for the 1st edition of the competitive Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus. I embarked on the solar laser field even before starting my PhD and since then, I’ve been contributing to the development of innovative solar laser schemes, whose advances resulted in a total of 71 journal articles, some of which have gained international recognition. I’ve participated actively in ten projects financed by SFERA Horizon 2020 in PROMES-CNRS solar facilities and I oversaw an exploratory project EXPL/FIS-OTI/0332/2021 financed by FCT, which ended in January of this year. I have also acted as an ad hoc reviewer for nineteen scientific journals, and I am currently guest editor of a topical collection in Discover Energy (Springer-Nature). In 2020, our research team has signed a contract with Springer-Nature to write a book on Solar-Pumped Lasers, of which I’m co-author. This book has been released in 2023, containing two chapters of which I’m the first author.
