I received a BSc in enology and a Ph.D. in microbiology from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD). I am an Assistant Professor at UTAD and a Chemistry Research Centre – Vila Real member. I have Published 80 articles in international scientific journals, seven technical papers, 12 book chapters, and 85 publications in conference proceedings. Supervised Ph.D. and master's thesis besides having supervised works of completion for Bach. / Degree in the field of Biological Sciences. I received two awards. I am currently involved in three research projects, and my lines of research are linked with studies on volatile acidity bio-reduction in wines, wine microbiology, and food and wine sensory evaluation. In my professional activities, I have interacted with more than 110 researchers in co-authorships of scientific papers. I am an active reviewer for Food Research International, Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Food Chemistry International, Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science, and MDPI Journals (Foods, Fermentation, Beverages, Molecules, International Journal of Molecular Sciences and Materials); Academic Editor of Asian Research Journal of Agriculture, International Journal of Environment and Climate Change, and the Insights in Organic & Inorganic Chemistry Journal and Editorial Board Member of Journal of Agriculture and Crops and Fermentation (MDPI)
