I am an astronomer at Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IA) and a Lecturer at Instituto Universitário de Ciências da Saúde (IUCS/CESPU). At the latter, I am responsible, since 2005, of the Physics courses, of several degrees on Health Sciences.¿Beyond teaching, I develop activities in science communication and outreach projects, in particular in the context of the Planetário do Porto - Centro Ciência Viva, of wish I was executive director between October 2014 and September 2019, and of IA’s Science Communication Group, of which I coordinate the Porto node.
