Sofia Teives Henriques is an Assistant Professor at the University of Porto and an affiliated researcher at cefUP and at the Department of Economic History at Lund University. She holds a Ph.D. in Economic History from Lund University (2011), a master's in Economics, Energy, and Environmental Policies from ISEG, and an Economics Degree from ISCTE (2001). Before joining the University of Porto, she conducted postdoctoral research at the Department of Business Economics at the University of Southern Denmark (2012-2014), was a researcher at Lund University (2015-2020), and was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge (2016), Rachel Carson Center in Munich (2017) and University Paris Diderot (2018). Her main interests lie in the intersection between energy and natural resources, technological change, long-term economic growth, and environmental sustainability. One main research area deals with Portuguese and European long-term economic development, with a focus on industrialization and the role of energy and technology adoption as a driver of economic growth. A second research topic investigates how different socio-economic drivers and energy and climate policies impact the sustainability of energy systems over space and time. She has published several articles in international journals such as Economic History Review, European Review of Economic History, Energy Policy, Energy, and Ecological Economics. She has taught bachelor and master courses on Global and Portuguese Economic History, Energy Economics, and Sustainability and supervised several master theses on economic history, energy, innovation, and sustainability topics. She has organized several sessions at international conferences and is a member of the Exergy Economics group.
