I'm a business analyst of Smart Territories Team at Administrative Modernization Agency (AMA). Previously I was a researcher at NOVA Cidade – Urban Analytics Lab and professor of the practice at NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS) in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). I hold a PhD in Information Management – GIS by NOVA IMS, previously obtained an MSc in Science & GIS by the same institution and a graduation in Biophysics Engineering - Planning and Environmental Management from the University of Évora. I developed research and technical work in urban analytics in the areas of mobility, waste management, parking, emergency, economy and environemntal justice, as well in the development of regional analytical platforms. I have also developed research and technical work in the production and accuracy assessment of land cover maps, in private and public institutions. Nowadays my main activities at AMA are related with the implementation of the Portuguese National Strategy for Smart Territories (ENTI) in their several dimensions but mainly in the coordination with the local and central public administration business needs and external and internal integration/analytics teams. I also work closely with public administration in the definition of use cases and data needs to improve decision making at operational and planning level to promote data-driven public policies. My current focus is to contribute to the promotion of social, economic, and environmental well-being at local, regional and national level.
