I have graduated in Biology at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto and I am currently doing my Master thesis at CIBIO. My work consists in finding genetic variations in populations of monitor lizards (Varanus niloticus, V. exanthematicus and V. griseus) in order to determine phylogenetic relationships and identify major haplotypes and their geographical localization. My main scientific areas of interest are Herpetology, Genetics, Evolution, Biodiversity, Conservation and Ecology.
