I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Centro de Física of the University of Coimbra (CFisUC), Portugal. I got my Ph.D. degree at the University of Porto, Portugal, in December 2018, and moved to Carleton U., Ottawa, Canada, for my first postdoc (Jan 2019 - August 2020). Then, I started to work at the Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC) at the University of Valencia, Spain, for my second postdoc (September 2020 - May 2023). My research focuses on the interplay between Cosmology and Theoretical Particle Physics and I have been working mainly on Dark Matter, in particular, in elaborating Particle Physics models for Dark Matter candidates. Lately, I have also been studying aspects of Inflation, Leptogenesis, Baryogenesis, Gravitational Waves, Extra dimensions, and Flavour Physics. My postgraduate education has been diversified, covering also General Relativity, Dark Energy, Black Hole Physics, Experimental Particle Physics, and even Statistical Physics and Conformal Field Theory. In addition to Dark Matter, my other interests include Physics of the Early Universe (inflation, preheating), Gravitational Waves, Structure Formation, Dark Energy, and beyond the Standard Model Particle Physics.
