I am a medical doctor (2010, NOVA Medical School) and a specialist in Public Health (2019). I have a master's (2015, National School of Public Health) and a Ph.D. in Public Health (2019, NOVA University of Lisbon). I have worked at the local level, in a Public Health Unit, as a resident, as a researcher in a Horizon2020 project (SILNE-R), as an expert in the Portuguese National Health Council, and as a consultant in the WHO European Office for Investment for Health and Development. Nowadays I am an assistant professor at the Medical Faculty of Porto University. I co-coordinate the course Health, Well-Being and Architecture and coordinate the Specialization Course on Public Health. I do research on several Public Health topics but I am mostly curious about distal determinants of health, such as the social, environmental, and political determinants, and health inequities. In recent years I have started to focus on the analysis of health and social policies, combining quantitative and qualitative methods.
