As an entomologist with over 17 years of experience, I bring a unique and comprehensive skill set that combines scientific expertise with strong project management, data analysis, and digital tool development. My career has spanned academic research, technical fieldwork, and research coordination, giving me both the theoretical foundation and hands-on experience to contribute meaningfully to complex scientific projects. Currently, I manage research projects at Food4Sustainability, where I lead interdisciplinary teams and integrate data analysis into every stage of the research process. These projects are highly practical and applied, developed in close collaboration with farmers and targeting real-world challenges. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of how to design science that is not only rigorous but also relevant and impactful for stakeholders on the ground. My background includes a Ph.D. in Forest Engineering (University of Lisbon) and a postdoctoral position at the University of Bordeaux, where I focused on forest insect ecology and biological invasions using both ecological and data-driven methodologies. What sets me apart is my ability to bridge the gap between science and technology. I have developed advanced data visualization tools using Power BI and no-code platforms, enabling clear and impactful communication of research findings. These tools not only support internal project decision-making but also help translate complex data into accessible, actionable insights for stakeholders. In addition to my scientific and technical skills, I am a certified trainer in Open Science and FAIR Data Principles and an active member of a national working group on FAIR Data Practices. With the growing emphasis on open and shared data, particularly under initiatives like the FCT’s national open science strategy and European research policy, I can support institutions in implementing robust data stewardship frameworks that ensure data quality, interoperability, and reusability. In short, I believe I can offer a powerful combination: an experienced entomologist and research project leader, a data analyst and digital tool creator, and a strong advocate and trainer for Open Science and FAIR data. I am passionate about helping research institutions embrace a future where science is transparent, data is reusable, and insights are effectively communicated.
