I graduated in Applied Plant Biology at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon (FCUL) and obtained a MSc and PhD Degrees in Plant Biotechnology, also by the University of Lisbon (ULisboa), in 1998 and 2004, respectively. I held a position as a Researcher under Ciência2008 Programme (5yr contract), funded by FCT, at the Coffee Rusts Research Centre (CIFC)/Tropical Research Institute (IICT), where I launched an independent line of investigation on fungal population and evolutionary genetics (http://www.isa.ulisboa.pt/en/cifc/research/pathogen-genetic-diversity-and-evolution) aiming to understand fungal population dynamics and adaptive evolution in a context of contributing to the development of improved disease management strategies. Presently, since January 2021, I am an Assistant Professor at Instituto Superior de Agronomia (ISA – School of Agriculture, ULisboa), and a full member at the R&D Unit Linking Landscape, Environment, Agriculture and Food (LEAF/ISA). I also integrate the Associate Laboratory TERRA, a consortium of R&D units converging on the common theme of sustainable land use, and I am a member of the Tropical College (CTROP), which aims to foster tropical research among several schools of ULisboa. I have published more than 70 scientific papers, including peer-reviewed papers in reputed SCI journals (e.g Web of Science rank Q1 - Molecular Ecology; Frontiers in Plant Science; Frontiers in Microbiology; Plant Disease; Molecular Plant Pathology), book chapters and conference proceedings. I also co-authored the publication of more than 1000 GenBank DNA sequences, ESTs BioProjects and RAD-seq BioProjects at NCBI and ENA databases, a reference genome assembly and open access software. I have actively disseminated my scientific work with over 150 conference presentations, including 76 talks, several of which as invited speaker. I am also currently Associate editor of Frontiers in Plant Science (section Plant pathogen interactions). I successfully attracted research funding in highly competitive calls as Principal Investigator in 3 projects [i.e. PTDC/ASP-PLA/29189/2017:239KEUR funded by FEDER and FCT; PTDC/AGR-GPL/119943/2010: 125KEUR; and PTDC/AGR-GLP/104966/2008: 129 KEUR], coordinating a network with several institutions, and as co-PI in 2 projects (i.e.PTDC/ASP-PLA/29779/2017: 239KEUR; and PTDC/ASP-AGR/0760/2020: 249KEUR). I have also participated in several other research projects in the last 5 years, including within contract agreements with companies, namely Illycaffè and Biotalys, and an ongoing cooperation project in Peru funded by FONDECYT. I was involved in a pioneer national initiative, Cork oak EST Consortium (http://coec.fc.ul.pt/), organized to produce in partnership a reference transcriptome for cork oak, and I was member of the organizing committee of several national and international conferences and worshops, namely the 14th ESEB Congress (>1500 participants) and ASIC 25 - 30th International Conference on Coffee Science (ASIC) – Towards more sustainable coffee, to be held in October this year at the Rectory of the University of Lisbon. Along time, I achieved a high degree of internationalization, namely through co-authorship of scientific papers, networking, consulting and training within CIFC´s cooperation activities with coffee research institutions, and other international partners. I have supervised 2 PhD theses, 8 Master theses (1 received an honorable mention), 2 undergraduate theses, 14 advanced training students and a project PhD researcher, including 1 international bachelor student and 2 international internship PhD students. Currently, I am supervising 1 PhD student, 1 MSc student and 5 undergraduate students. I have been also committed to dissemination and outreach activities such as the Ciência Viva Open Day, Ciência Viva no Laboratório and European Researcher’s Night. Among other activities of scientific nature, I translated “The Origin of Species” by C Darwin.
