After my undergraduate studies at the University of Lisbon, I did a PhD in Amsterdam with Maurice Sabelis (April 2004), testing food web theory in predator-herbivore-plant systems. I then moved to Montpellier, for a post-doc with Isabelle Olivieri on experimental evolution of host range in spider mites and another at IGC with Isabel Gordo on the fitness effects of mutations during experimental evolution of E. coli. As member of cE3c at FCUL since July 2008, I pursued my research, addressing issues such as sex allocation, sexual conflict or the interaction with bacterial symbionts. I have obtained several projects and am currently running an ERC grant to understand the role of individual variation and eco-evolutionary feedbacks on the outcome of competition between spider mites, together with a team composed of excellent and well-motivated students and post-docs. I have authored 77 scientific peer-reviewed publications, in journals such as Nature, Science, PNAS, Current Biology and Nature Communications, and one book chapter. I am Associate Professor at FCUL since June 2021, where I teach both at the MSc and the bachelor level. My classes concern mostly the evolution of biotic interactions. I am particularly committed to bringing undergraduate students closer to research environments and to challenging their critical thinking. I strongly believe that science is a cooperative endeavour and thus invest in activities that benefit the scientific community, by playing an active role in national and international scientific societies, acting as a reviewer for journals and grants schemes on a regular basis and being part of the Editorial Board of several journals (currently The American Naturalist and Oikos). Although I am convinced that fundamental research is a societal priority, I am also devoted to bringing science closer to society, by engaging in outreach activities. In particular, I have launched the Caravana Agroecológica in May 2019, a series of initiatives aiming at building bridges between researchers, producers and consumers committed to sustainable agriculture.
