Head of Special Projects & Innovation at EDPR APAC

I graduated in electrical and computer engineering from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal in 2014 and received the PhD degree from CentraleSupélec, Paris, France in 2018. From 2019 to 2022 I led a research team focusing on Flexibility, Renewables Integration and green H2 at EDP NEW, where I was also the coordinator of IANOS, a H2020 funded research project with 34 partners from 8 different countries and an overall budget of around 8,8 M€. Before this experience I have worked as a Research Engineer for EDF R&D in its “Economic and Technical Analysis of Energy Systems” department on topics related with power system's regulation operation and planning. This includes transmission and distribution network expansion planning, grid integration of storage and renewables energy and regulatory analysis of the European electricity markets. Native Portuguese speaker, proficient English, French and Spanish speaker, my international and multi-cultural experience allowed me to develop my adaptability and interpersonal skills.
