About me

With a Master’s degree in Environmental Technologies and Management from the University of Coimbra, I am a senior researcher at IPN LED&MAT, where I have been contributing since 2009 as part of the Eco-innovation and Circular Economy research team. My work is driven by the challenge of translating sustainability into practice, focusing on ecodesign and in the development of innovative, sustainable products and business models. I´m specialized in analysing product’s system environmental performance using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a key tool for guiding product development and optimization. I am actively involved in the design, implementation, and coordination of research and innovation projects funded by Portuguese (PT2030, FCT) and European programs (FP7, H2020, Horizon Europe), working closely with national and international companies and organizations to deliver impactful, real-world solutions.
