Interest in energy economics, environmental economics, and climate change issues. Ph.D. and MSc. in economics and policy of climate and energy. I work on carbon pricing mechanisms, on countries’ low-carbon development scenarios, and modeling the linkage of renewable power systems. Past: Euronatura, Portuguese Climate Delegation to the UNFCCC, EDP and National Park of Peneda-Gerês.
