He is an Associated Professor in the University of Porto and Director of the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the Faculty of Sciences U.Porto. He is also a senior researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences – U.Porto, where he lead the team on Stellar Astrophysics, and is the National Delegate to ESA’s Science Program Committee. He coordinates the national Doctoral Network for Space Sciences (PhD::SPACE). Main research interests include the development of seismic probes of stellar physics, namely to study energy transport and transport processes, as well as testing the modelling and seismic characterization of stars at different evolutionary stages and of different properties (with special focus on main sequence solar-like stars). He has been involved in several space missions for asteroseismology (CoRoT/CNES&ESA, Kepler/NASA, TESS/NASA), being also involved in the preparation of future space missions.
