About

I am a full researcher working at the research unit on Governance, Competitiveness and Public Policies (GOVCOPP), University of Aveiro. I have completed a PhD in Environment and Sustainability Sciences from the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (Dec. 2016), an MSc in Environmental Engineering (Spatial Planning and Impact Assessment) from the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa and a degree in Environmental Engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal. I recently started a project entitled “Power in the institutional relations of Environmental Assessment through the practitioners’ lens” (April 2019), funded under the Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus 2017 (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology). This research focuses on the existing political and hierarchical power relations within the Environmental Assessment (EA) institutional dimension and its influence on practitioners’ ownership of the EA process. Previously, I developed research related with Community-led Network for Territorial Innovation in the CeNTER project which aims to identify the policy tools which best allow for the valorisation of territorial resources to promote employment and quality of life in Portuguese Centro Region. I also developed research on environmental and sustainability impact assessment of public policies, plans and programmes, focusing on Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in small islands contexts (local and regional level) and evaluation of effectiveness in SEA scoping. The research conducted has a strong interdisciplinary background, bridging with different research lines such as public policies, regional planning, governance and institutional change, environmental governance and social responsibility.
