I earned my PhD in Economics from the University of Coimbra (Portugal). My doctoral thesis, The (In)Stability of Creative Destruction, was awarded summa cum laude and received two prizes: the 2024 Fundação Engenheiro António de Almeida Award for the best doctoral thesis defended in 2023 across all fields at the Faculty of Economics, and the 2025 Professor Doutor Pedro Nogueira Ramos Prize (biennial), awarded to the best PhD thesis in Economics in Portugal with applications to the Portuguese economy. I hold a tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Economics, where I also serve as a researcher at the Centre for Business and Economics Research (CeBER). Grounded in a pluralist and quantitative approach, my research explores how agency and structural forces interact over time to shape trajectories of technological progress and socio-economic inequalities. I have contributed to these fields through several publications in high-impact journals, presentations at first-rank international conferences, participation in four externally funded research projects, providing peer-review services for top journals, and teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. My current research agenda explores the tensions and the co-evolution of technical change, institutions, industrial dynamics, and income distribution through the lens of long-wave theory. It is structured around six interconnected lines of inquiry: (1) innovation and technological revolutions; (2) firm-level technology; (3) competitive selection, rent-seeking, and financialisation; (4) industrial dynamics, automation, and wage setting; (5) democracy and development; and (6) global asymmetries and the uneven diffusion of technological paradigms. In addition, my experience in senior government positions in Ecuador, notably as Undersecretary of State for Knowledge Strengthening, has provided me with valuable insights into the intersection of research and public policy. This background underscores my commitment to research that is not only academically rigorous but also relevant and impactful in addressing societal challenges.
