I'm a Freshwater Ecologist, with a background in Biology (2013), MSc in Conservation Biology (2015) and a PhD in River Restoration and Management (2023). I conduct my research on the ecology and management of freshwater fish populations facing multiple stressors, particularly flow and thermal regulation by dams and climate change. Throughout my early research career, I have been combining experimental studies (fish behaviour, habitat use, hydropeaking and thermopeaking) with field work and Geographical Information Systems (GIS), thus allowing me to go evaluate impacts on freshwater fish across multiple scales. My PhD project was focused on climate change and river fragmentation impacts on migratory freshwater fish. I'm currently working as a postdoctoral research fellow on the Dammed Fish project (DOI: 10.54499/PTDC/CTA-AMB/4086/2021) at Instituto Superior de Agronomia, studying fish distribution and river connectivity at the European scale.
