I am a Doctorate Researcher and Chemical Engineer at ISQ – Instituto de Soldadura e Qualidade. I finished in 2023 my PhD on Sustainable Energy Systems in Instituto Superior Técnico, from which I had also obtained my MSc degree in Chemical Engineering in 2018. I am also a member of the Energy Group of CERENA - Centro de Recursos Naturais e Ambiente. I have working experience in Reserach & Development projects in the areas of energy efficiency, waste heat recovery, process integration, water-energy nexus and simulation and optimisation model development. I had created a computational tool designated ThermWatt, developed in the Modelica and Python languages, which has been in development since 2019. This tool has been used since for the further development of a specialized and innovative Engineering service. I am also the author of several scientific publications and had participated in several scientific conferences. Ihad also supervised several MSc students. My personal and professional course may be exploited in my personal website: https://sustainable-future.webnode.pt
