I am a physical geographer and GIS expert with a strong focus on species distribution modelling and its applications in conservation and spatial planning. I completed my PhD in Ecology at the University of Coimbra in 2022, co-supervised by the University of Exeter (UK), following a BSc in Physical Geography (2014) and an MSc in Geographical Information Technologies (2016). My research primarily uses seabirds as indicators of global change, spanning topics such as at-sea behaviour, fisheries bycatch, climate change impacts, marine conservation, and animal tracking. More recently, I’ve expanded my research to consider extreme climatic events, cross-ecosystem comparisons, integrative approaches across disciplines (e.g. oceanography and physiology), and regional/global-scale perspectives. To date, I have published a total of 40 ISI papers and two book chapters, which attracted a total of 503 citations, and an h-index of 15, with 93% of these publications appearing in journals ranked in the top 25% by CiteScore. Several papers were published in major multidisciplinary scientific journals such as Nature Communications, Current Biology, Journal of Applied Ecology, Frontiers in Marine Science, Science of Total Environment, Journal of Experimental Biology, and Oecologia (2 papers). A large proportion of my research is internationally collaborative, with 87% of publications co-authored with researchers from other countries, and 7% involving collaboration with governmental agencies and conservation NGOs. Since completing my PhD, I have led two nationally funded projects as Principal Investigator (~€250K), and participated in three major projects funded by EU Next Generation, Interreg, and LIFE programmes (total funding ~€4.5M). I’ve supervised one BSc and four MSc students and teach "GIS and Spatial Modelling", "Evolutionary Biogeography", and "Biodiversity Conservation and Management" in MSc courses at the University of Coimbra. I serve as Guest Associate Editor for Frontiers in Marine Science and Diversity, and review for several ecological and marine journals. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Coimbra, investigating how environmental and human pressures affect seabirds’ foraging behaviour, energetics, physiology, and reproduction.
