Activity summary

I am a PhD student in Biosciences by the University of Coimbra, Department of Life Sciences, and I am developing my research in MARE Polytechnic of Leiria and MARE University of Coimbra. My research interests are focused on red seaweeds, namely taxonomy, cultivation techniques, nutritional profile, pigment composition, and bioactivities.

Highlights
