Electrochemistry Group Leader at Vasco da Gama CoLAB, with a multidisciplinary background in Chemistry, Materials Science and Civil Engineering. My research focuses on electrochemical energy storage, particularly sodium-ion batteries, electrode and electrolyte development, and the scale-up and validation of battery materials from laboratory cells to pouch-cell demonstrators. I have experience in nanomaterials, sustainable materials, redox flow batteries and the coordination of national and European R&D projects, bridging fundamental research with applied and industrial development.
