He has published about 190 articles in various scientific areas, including Artificial Intelligence, Physics, Evolutionary Biology, Environmental Governance, Network Science, the Ecology of Cancer, Early Modern History, Robotics, Urban dynamics, and Experimental Economics. His work has appeared in interdisciplinary venues such as Nature, PNAS, Nature Climate Change, Nature Communications, Nature Sustainability, Phys. Rev. Lett., PLoS Computational Biology, Proc. Royal Society of London B, etc., and specialized Computer Science conferences such as AAAI, IJCAI, and AAMAS, among others. He regularly serves as PC or Senior PC member in the same meetings (IJCAI, AAMAS, ALife, NetSci, Complex Networks, etc.). He was the recipient of the IST/Univ. Lisbon Excellence in teaching award every year since 2012, being awarded the IST's Outstanding Teaching Award in 2022. He was awarded the 2017 Young Scientist Award for Socio and Econophysics of the German Physical Society. In 2016, he received the Universidade de Lisboa/Caixa Geral de Depósitos 2016 scientific prize. He was elected a junior fellow (SJC) of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences (ACL) (2017-2020). He has participated in 17 research projects in Portugal and Belgium, being Principal Investigator or co-PI in 8 of them, all of which with the highest evaluations.
