🌲 I am a Forestry and Natural Resources PhD student which main research interests are #️⃣fire ecology and management with special focus on #️⃣prescribed fire, #️⃣fire behaviour and #️⃣pyrogeography. My work is 💰 supported by FCT, and 📪 hosted at CEF/ISA, University of Lisbon.
🔥 I am a volunteer firefigher and certified for planning, preparing, executing and evaluating prescribed burning but also tactical fire operations.
💻 I am currently working on prescribed burning and wildfire interaction using diverse spatial data and statistical analysis to address fire-fuel relationships in Portugal.
