Her articles were published in the Top 6 Scimago ranking and Top 6 ISI Web of Science ranking in Environmental Engineering journals, is also a reviewer on those journals. She has one article incorporated in the European Commission's environmental news service for policymakers, distributed to over 20,000 subscribers of the Science for Environment Policy News Alert. She wrote 6 books chapters and 2 books. Pires presented more than 10 papers at peer-reviewed international conferences and 6 at national conferences. Besides her research activity at FCT NOVA, she supervised 11 masters' students until now and collaborates in teaching activities at Integrated Master in Environmental Engineering. She has been invited to make presentations at international and national events. Pires participated in 10 projects from international funding and 4 national funding, with an evaluation panel. She won 6 prizes, highlighting the Pordata Prize (2500 €) won in 2016 with the indicator Urban waste management hierarchy index, divulgated at one of the most sold newspaper in Portugal, the Expresso (98,712 copies) and ISWA Publication Award, an international award. She is a member of an editorial journal, scientific organizations, international committees of H2020 and Joint Research Centre projects. She has co-organized international and national conferences. She has been invited to national and international conferences as a speaker and keynote speaker. She is a reviewer at the journals: Waste Management, Science of Total Environment, Applied Mathematical Modelling, Journal of Cleaner Production, Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, Resources, Conservation and Recycling, and Environmental Engineering and Management Journal. She is a member of Marine and Environmental Sciences Center (MARE) since 2007. Her research and teaching interests include methodologies on assessment and development of sustainable waste and circular management systems and its consequences to the environment and society. She is dedicated to life cycle assessment, carbon footprint, plastic litter, circular economy and sustainability metrics.
