I am an Assistant Professor  at the School of Economics and Management of University of Porto and an integrated member of CefUP. I hold a  PhD in Economic History from the School of Economics and Management at Lund University,  an Msc in Energy Economics and Environmental Policies from ISEG, University of Lisbon and a  BsC in Economics from ISCTE - University Institute of Lisbon.

My research focuses on understanding the role of energy transitions and natural resources in the process of long-term economic development and on  the possibilities of decoupling future economic growth from resource use and emissions.  I explore the  role of renewables, deep electrification,  energy and material efficiency, and  energy shocks on the economic growth and decarbonization in Portugal, Denmark, Europe and globally.   Additionally, I investigate the environmental and socio-economic changes of long-term agricultural development.  I am also interested  in analyzing the drivers and impacts of past, present and future environmental related transitions at smaller geographic and economic scales, such as     cities, regions, firms, and individuals.
