I am a marine microbiologist who has recently sucessfully depeloped my MSc thesis on "Coccolithophores as a potential marine resource for sustainable aquaculture", while working on the project ALGACO2. Currently, I am responsible for the maintenance of the Microalgae Culture Collection of the University of Lisbon (ALISU) where I have had the opportunity to contribute for the development of several projects, incluiding DustCo, CrassoReab, Evotox and Habwave.
