He has more than 100 publications, has given more than 200 speeches at conferences, colloquia and seminars and has taken part in around 100 master's and doctoral examinations. In his activity as a member of the CIDP, his research in the field of data protection law stands out. He is the author of the first handbook on data protection law written in Portuguese. He coordinated a team, mostly made up of CIDP researchers, who produced the only commentary in Portuguese on the GDPR and the national implementing law. He coordinates the Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Data Protection Law – a partnership between the CIDP and the Iris Computer Society. In addition to several studies published in Portuguese, he has published in the most important European journals dedicated to data protection law, in particular the following: Civil Liability for Processing of Personal Data in the GDPR (2019), in the European Data Protection Law Review; and The Personal Data Under the GDPR: Concept, Elements, and Boundaries, in the Global Privacy Law Review (2023). During the last three years, he was a member of the Private Law in the Digital Age research line and published the study Data Protection Litigation System Under the GDPR in the collective work The Legal Challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Following this study, he presented the following project to the CIDP Board for the years 2025-2027: Data Protection Litigation, in the Artificial Intelligence, Technology and Private Law line of research, thus continuing his research. He also founded, with other professors from Portuguese universities, the Journal of Law and Technology, promoting the dissemination of Data Protection Law and allowing new researchers to produce specialised articles, with the support of peer review. His works are frequently cited in Portuguese judgements (around 150 judgements). In the field of Data Protection Law, his works were cited 13 times in the Lisbon Court of Appeal ruling of 2 May 2023 - case no. 12234/21.0T8LSB.L1-7. This is a seminal judgement that led to the blocking of a Wikipedia entry on the grounds of the right to be forgotten.
