I completed my undergraduate degree in History and Archaeology at the University of Minho (Braga, Portugal) in 2005 and in 2007 I finished a diploma in GIS at the University of Porto (Portugal). I then collaborated on projects with the Laboratory of Landscape Archaeology (LaPa-XuGa) in Santiago de Compostela (Spain), mainly working with GIS tools and landscape analysis.
I accomplished my Masters Degree in 2010 at the University of Porto where I defended a dissertation based on my research project about the study the two main rock art traditions in northwest Iberia, based on their interaction with the landscape.
Whilst undertaking these courses I have also worked in commercial archaeology with several companies, mostly in Portugal, Spain and England. I supervised several teams in different projects, especially in jobs that required fieldwalking.
In 2012 I started (part-time) my PhD at the University of Southampton and was awarded funding from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology in 2013, when I moved to full-time. My project will look at Atlantic Rock Art drawing comparisons between the different regions where it is said to exist. I will be using GIS for the spatial analysis and RTI to record the motifs on the rocks.
I am also a member of the Portuguese CEAACP (Research Centre in Archaeology, Arts and Cultural Heritage).
