I was born in Tondela, a small town in the center-north of Portugal. I first joined Thorri’s Supramolecular Chemistry group as a visiting student in November 2000, while still an undergraduate student at the University of Coimbra. It was at this stage that the passion for lanthanide chemistry and anion sensing started to germinate. After finishing my degree back home, I joined once again Dr. Gunnlaugsson’s group in April 2003 as a postgraduate student. My work focused on the design, synthesis and photophysical evaluation of novel luminescent sensing devices. I truly enjoyed my stay in Ireland, and particularly to work with Thorri and all the group members along the way. Being so hard to leave, I’m continuing with the group as a post-doctoral researcher. |
