Concluiu o Doutoramento em Engenharia Mecânica em 2026 e o Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Mecânica igualmente pela Universidade de Aveiro em 2011. Iniciou o seu percurso na investigação em 2012 como bolseiro de investigação no projeto “High Performance ZnO Based Back Reflectors for Thin Film Solar Cell Applications”. Posteriormente, desempenhou funções de Técnico de Manutenção Industrial na empresa Hidrauliman, Lda., no âmbito de um estágio profissional de um ano. Prosseguiu a sua atividade científica como bolseiro, assumindo funções de Gestor de Ciência e Tecnologia no Centro de Tecnologia Mecânica e Automação (TEMA), onde apoiou a coordenação e gestão de projetos de investigação. Foi doutorando do Programa Doutoral em Engenharia Mecânica da Universidade de Aveiro, sendo bolseiro da Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT, ref. 2021.07198.BD), com o projeto intitulado “Desenvolvimento de Marcadores Óticos Luminescentes Inovadores para a Rastreabilidade de Compósitos Poliméricos”. A investigação incide no desenvolvimento e integração de nanomateriais luminescentes em matrizes poliméricas recicladas, visando a criação de sistemas funcionais com propriedades óticas rastreáveis. O trabalho envolve a correlação entre estrutura, processamento e desempenho ótico/mecânico dos compósitos, com enfoque na sua aplicabilidade em contextos de economia circular e manufatura aditiva. É autor de 7 artigos publicados em revistas científicas internacionais com revisão por pares, dos quais é primeiro autor em 5.
