He holds a PhD in History from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS, Paris), a Master’s degree in Social Sciences from the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon, and a BA in History from NOVA University Lisbon. His research activity is situated in the fields of History, Legal History and Institutional History, with a primary focus on the administration of justice, magistracies, legal cultures and governance structures in early modern Portugal and its empire, as well as in the transition to the nineteenth century. His work addresses administrative history, judicial institutions, colonial governance, circulation of agents, legal pluralism and state formation, combining long-term and transimperial perspectives. Methodologically, his research is characterised by the systematic use of prosopography, relational and network analysis, and the integration of Digital Humanities approaches, including relational databases, GIS and open-access digital collections. These methods are applied to the study of elites, courts, jurisdictions, administrative careers and territorial organisation, enabling comparative and scalable analyses across imperial spaces.
