I am currently Group Leader of the Freshwater Conservation, Diversity and Evolution Group at CIBIO/InBio - Research Centre in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources, University of Porto.
I have a B.Sc. in Biochemistry and an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Biodiversity, Evolution and Genetic Resources, all from the Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto.
My research interests are related to the global conservation of freshwater species, including evolution, phylogeny, phylogeography, genetic diversity and ecophysiology.
More recently, I have been involved in developing novel molecular tools for assessing freshwater biodiversity.
I am the current (IUCN/SSC) Coordinator of the Freshwater Bivalve Red List Authority within the Molluscs Specialist Group.
