Domain of specialization
1) Hydrodynamics and Hydrogeochemistry of aquifers and surface water bodies
2) Numerical modelling of groundwater flow, transport of solutes, multi-phase flow and biogeochemical reactions in the context of:
- natural systems
- contamination of soil and water
- the Deep Geological Repository for high level radioactive waste (i.e. spent nuclear fuel)
Education
2009 - PhD in Geosciences (Quantitative Hydrogeology), University of Aveiro & Amphos 21
2007 - Master degree in Geochemistry, University of Aveiro
2005 - Post-graduation in Groundwater Hydrology, Technical University of Catalonia
2003 - Graduation in Applied and Environmental Geology, University of Lisbon
Current position
Post-doctoral Fellow in the University of Oslo
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Hydrogeology at the Department of Geosciences. The post-doctoral project contributes to the 'Geology & Geophysics' and 'Geography & Hydrology' sections, strengthening the Department as a central research and educational institution in hydrogeology.
The focus of this post-doctoral project covers the topics of: groundwater flow and solute transport, unsaturated/saturated zone interactions, and water quality.
