Luís Fonseca (LF) has degrees in Biology, Pedagogical and Scientific Area, from the University of Coimbra (UC), in 1999 and 2003, respectively. He completed his PhD in Biology/Ecology at UC in 2009. He is currently a PhD Researcher at the Centre for Functional Ecology (CFE), Department of Life Sciences (DCV), Faculty of Sciences and Technology (FCTUC). LF has published 32 articles in international scientific journals, in collaboration with researchers from several national and international research teams, co-editor of a field/laboratory guide and author of 2 book chapters. LF participated in several national and international scientific congresses (47 oral communications and 38 poster communications) and received 6 scientific awards. LF has been involved in 2 international projects and 10 national projects. He was coordinator of a multidisciplinary project funded by POCI-FEDER-FCT "POINTERS - Host tree-pinewood nematode interactions: Searching for sustainable approaches for pine wilt disease management" (PTDC/ASP-SIL / 31999/2017) and nowadays is co-coordinator of a project financed by FCT PineWALL - Linking pine cell wall composition and structure to pinewood nematode resistance under climate change (FCT- PTDC/ASP-SIL/3142/2020). In addition, LF has participated in the teaching of several curricular units of Biology Degree and Masters, at DCV-FCTUC. Currently, LF is lecturing theoretical and practical lectures of the Phytopathology course of the Biotechnology and Plant Biology Master, Ecology Master and Biological Resources, Territory Valorisation and Sustainability Master and is co-coordinator of a non-degree course (Practical Phytonematology) at DCV-FCTUC. During his research he has guided several students at various levels of education including MSc and PhD students. Additionally, he acts as coordinator of nematological analysis services at the Institute of Environmental Technology and Life (IATV) and is technical and scientific coordinator of the Nematology area of the Plant Health Laboratory of the Pedro Nunes Institute (FITOLAB). Based on these coordinations, LF has been actively collaborating with Portuguese wood and bark heat treatment industries and with the General Directorate of Food and Veterinary Affairs (DGAV). Furthermore, LF has also actively collaborated with the National Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests (ICNF) performing nematological analyses to detect pine wood nematodes in Portuguese forestry areas.
