I am a researcher of NIPE (Economic Policies Research Unit), an assistant professor at the Department of Economics - University of Minho, and vice-president of the School of Economics and Management of the University of Minho

My research focuses on Dynamic Macroeconomic Theory and Modeling. I am also interested in Political Economy (voting behavior) and on Wavelet Analysis.

After my return to Portugal, in 2005, I have taught many courses, however it seems that I have settled in for Economic Dynamics (undergrad) and Time Series Analysis courses (graduate level).

I finished my Economics PhD in 2005, at Cornell University. I studied under the supervision of Karl Shell (chair), Yi Wen, Nicholas Kiefer and Yongmiao Hong. Before going to Cornell, I completed my Master studies in the University of Porto. Francisco Louçã was my thesis supervisor. My undergraduate studies were pursued in the University of Coimbra. I have fond memories of all these three universities.
