Education and Academic Background
- She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Agronomy from the University of Évora (UÉvora).
- She also obtained a Master’s degree in Agronomic Engineering from the same institution, with a dissertation entitled “Study of the interaction between stress response and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) metabolism in the adventitious rooting of walnut (Juglans spp.)”.
Research
She has participated in several scientific events, presenting research findings in poster format, including:
- VIII PhD Students Meeting (2023) – “Exploring the crosstalk between signalling molecules and auxin metabolism during adventitious root formation in walnut tree (Juglans spp.)”
- X PhD Students Meeting (2025) – “Calmodulin gene family in Juglans regia L.: Genome-wide identification and expression patterns during adventitious root development”
- II Symposium of Biotechnology (2025) – “Molecular Analysis of PIN-Mediated Auxin Transport During Adventitious Root Formation in Juglans regia”
She has also contributed to various research activities and has been involved in additional scientific publications.
Professional Experience
- Following the completion of her Master’s degree, she joined the team at Viveiros PLANSEL – Plantas Selecionadas, Lda., through a six-month professional internship.
- During this period, she participated in a grapevine breeding programme, carrying out controlled crosses between genetically selected grapevine varieties carrying resistance genes against downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator).
- She also collaborated with MicroPlant, Lda., where she had the opportunity to further develop her knowledge and practical skills in in vitro micropropagation techniques for various woody species.
- She has participated in science communication activities and contributed to the supervision and support of undergraduate students.
