I am an Associate Professor in Academic Practice. My current research involves looking at ways in which science can be used to empower society and I use poetry and games as a creative tool to help engender dialogue between experts and non-experts. I am also the Chief Executive Editor of EGU's 'Geoscience Communication' journal.

I aim to gain fundamental insights into physical processes, and to probabilistically quantify hazards and risk. My geomorphological work develops algorithms and novel methods, and typically DEMs provide the primary observational constraint. With the insurance industry, my work on catastrophes aims to better understand and quantify the perils. Interests include: • Dynamics and mechanics of ice flow • Catastrophe modelling (i.e., risk, hazard and GIS) • Pacific volcanoes and deep Earth processes

My research interests are in the linkage between mountain hazards and mountain building processes, continental deformation and erosion. I integrates a variety of tools, techniques and datasets in my research including GPS geodesy, geochronology, high resolution digital topography and remote sensing. I have a longstanding interest in improving geohazards science delivery for disaster risk reduction worldwide. My recent scientific outreach efforts include development of educational materials and briefs to inform the public and to maximize the use of scientific evidence in policy making.

Professionally I could be defined as a scientist (paleontologist and evolutionist) who started communicating science for personal pleasure and ended up as a science communication and outreach professional. The three vertices of my activity and background are 1) science research in Paleontology and Evolution, specifically in dinosaurs, and also Morphometrics applied in Health; 2) Science Communication and Informa, namely directing a Science Centre, writing texts and other contents for different media, producing and presenting a radio show, exhibits, workshops; and 3) Formal and Informal Education, supervising both students and professionals in distinct science communication activities and contributing to organized reflection on science communication. My background as a researcher (PhD in Paleontology) allows me to comprehend the processes and methods of science production. This background is a plus for any science communication professional, since it allows an “inside view” of Science and Technology. I have worked 8 years in the Natural History Museum of Portugal as well as in 15 other Natural History Museums in four continents, as a visiting researcher. In the last years I have specialized my activity in Science communication in Science Centres and Museums activities and its social intervention, namely on its role as an informal education institution. My main duties as the Lagos Science Centre Executive Director include connecting researchers with our institution, writing and managing the annual budget, planning and supervising all Science Centre activities, coordinating the team and cumulatively being the head of communication with direct responsibility of the Centre’s communication. I was the first booster of Organizing the Science Communication Congress SciCom Pt 2015 in Lagos, organized by the Lagos Science Centre. As the Chairman of this 200 people meeting I was responsible for all aspects of the organization as well as for the related scientific tasks.

My research activities are centred around climate - Earth surface interactions in the past (late Cenozoic), present and future. I primarily employ process-based and empirical models to better quantify, understand and predict these interactions. I focus on mountainous regions like the Alps, Central Asia, the Andes, Scandinavia and Himalaya-Tibet. Recent outreach efforts include the development of open and accessible educational materials about climate science and Earthquakes.

I am a Lecturer in Researcher Development at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) and joined their UWS Academy in November 2018. From February to May 2021 I was also interim Team leader of the UWS Academy, before moving to Research Services in June 2021. This move allowed me to focus on researcher development activities linked to the Concordat to support the Career Development of researchers, PGR Supervisor development and mid-career academics at UWS. In my role at UWS, I support researchers in their development by providing training and opportunities to develop new skills. My research interests are academic writing support and its role in community building, and the role of public engagement (science communication) in research-engaged teaching.  I have a background in geoscience and a PhD in Civil & Environmental Engineering from University of Strathclyde (2013). After my PhD I worked as a researcher for the British Geological Survey before deciding to go back into academia for a postdoc at Heriot-Watt University. I was at Heriot-Watt from January 2015 to November 2018 and based in the School of Engineering, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society. During my first postdoc I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and I am still adapting to academic life with a chronic illness. I share my lived experience on social media and via blog posts.
