Assistant Professor at Physics Department of Nova University of Lisbon and former Coordinator of the Engineering Physics Master program, for 6+ years. Holds a PhD degree in Engineering Physics from Universidade Nova de Lisboa (2002). Cryogenic engineering is the main R&D field of interest. Had several scholarships at the Service des Basses Températures of the Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA) in Grenoble (France), working with the design of cryocoolers and cryogenic thermal management devices. In 2009 was Visiting Independent Advisor at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL-NASA/Caltech) and Visitor at Caltech in California, USA, for one semester, also dealing with cryogenic thermal management devices.

  1. Building a thinner gap in a gas-gap heat switch. A gas-gap heat switch (GGHS) reaches its highest conductance state when the gap between two exchange surfaces is filled with a conducting gas in a viscous regime. The broader the surface and the thinner the gap, the higher the ON conductance achieved. In this paper we describe a very thin cold gas-gap heat switch reached upon the use of the differential thermal expansion of the construction materi. 2015.
