I  am an associate professor at the University of Coimbra (http://www.uc.pt), Portugal, at the Department of History, Archaeology and Arts (Faculty of Arts and Humanities) where I coordinate the Master in History Teaching. I am also an Assistant Dean.

My main research subject has been centered in studying local communities, its social organization and the way they have developed in time. Also, I have been concerned with the analysis of individuals and families that dominate local power and resources and their personal and generational strategies of social affirmation.  

My PhD Thesis was focused on the observation and in-depth analysis of the characteristics and behavior of elites of Coimbra between 1777 and 1820. This analysis was supported by a large number of sources of very diverse origins and characteristics and the use of methodologies based on data crossing, prosopographical and biographical reconstruction and analysis of social networks.

I'm interested in Social History (18th-19th), specially the analysis of social networks as a tool to reconstruct historical communities and its social structures.
 I also develop research related to preservice teacher training, History teaching and learning in middle and secondary schools.

I am a member of Centro de Estudos Interdisciplinares do Século XX - Grupo de Humanidades Digitais (Digital Humanities)
