Short Biography

Concluded his PhD in Civil Engineering in 2014, in the field of Construction Science, from NOVA University, on the topic "Rheology
of hydraulic lime grouts for masonry consolidation". He received an honourable mention from the Portuguese Society of Rheology
(SPR) and the Spanish Group of Rheology (GER), within the framework of the Iberian Award for the most outstanding PhD thesis
in Rheology (2015 edition). Between September 2014 and September 2016, he was Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil
Engineering (DEC) at NOVA, where he became the head of the Construction Materials and Rheology of Construction Materials curricular
units. Between September 2016 and September 2017, he carried out a post-doctoral research project funded by the FCT-MCTES,
entitled Nanoparticles on Natural Hydraulic Lime Grouts. The work was developed at the DEC of NOVA and at the Materials Research
Centre (CENIMAT) of NOVA. Between October 2017 and November 2023, he assumed the position of Assistant Professor at NOVA's
DEC, becoming head of the Building Rehabilitation and Construction Materials II curricular units. In December 2023, through
a competitive process, he assumed the position of Associate Professor at NOVA's DEC, becoming regent of the Construction Materials
I and II, Coatings Technology and Construction Technologies curricular units of the master’s in civil engineering. His main
research interests are the conservation and rehabilitation of old buildings (with a focus on the hygrothermal performance
of buildings) and the development of eco-sustainable building materials. In the last ten years, he has published more than
45 scientific documents, including journal articles, book chapters and scientific communications, which have been cited more
than 700 times. More than 430 citations have been obtained through articles in international journals with a high impact factor.
He is also a researcher in the Soft and Biofunctional Materials Group of the Materials Research Centre-CENIMAT | i3N- R&D
Centre with "Excellent" rating by FCT-MCTES. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the DEC at NOVA, a member of the
Scientific Committee of the Master's in Civil Engineering and coordinator of the Master's in Building Rehabilitation at NOVA
