About Me

I am an Associate Professor in Earth and Exoplanet Climatology at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom.

My scientific research interests are focused on the theory and development of numerical models for the study of dynamics and climate of planetary atmospheres.

I am Portuguese, from a small town called Vidigueira. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, exploring mountains, playing/watching football games, watching movies, and playing Age of Empires III with Sandra.

My scientific research topics focus on the theory and development of numerical models to study the atmospheres of Solar System planets, exoplanets, and Earth. My goal is to explore the diversity of existing climates and to search for and characterize exoplanet atmospheres.
