Coja's Philharmonic Band

• Coimbra Area, Portugal

• Musician (tenor saxophonist)

  • Nov 2010 - Nov 2020

  Being a musician since I was 13 has helped me understand what means to be part of a bigger group/project, to be persistent and committed and as well as to be motivational and supportive to the new musicians.

LIP (Laboratory of Instrumentation and Experimental Particle Physics)

• Coimbra Area, Portugal

• Junior Researcher

  • Sep 2018 - Oct 2020

  After joining LIP as a young researcher, I became responsible for the ion mobility data taking and analysis, having already presented the measurements in Ne-CF4 mixtures at RD51/CERN in the scope of our participation there, with the results having already been published. In addition, I am also working in the optimization of a dual-polarity ion drift chamber to be used for the study of the mobility/diffusion of negative ions, an essential topic for the development of Negative Ion TPCs (Time Projection Chambers) which has been gaining great relevance over the past years. In April, I was granted a Scientific Initiation Scholarship, through the project "Participation in the RD51 Collaboration". Show less

• Guide in physics related experiments

  • Jan 2016 - Sep 2019

  In collaboration with another colleague, we guide groups from high school to the Physics Department facilities, explaining the physics and importance of some experiments and related instrumentation. Within this project, we also brought some experiments to several high schools to promote physical sciences and the available courses in our Department: Physics, Engineering Physics and Biomedical Engineering.The main subjects in these demonstrations are electromagnetic waves, sound waves and gravity.

• Summer Student

  • Jun 2018 - Aug 2018

  This internship was focused on the development, assembly and calibration of a photocathode characterisation setup. This setup was designed to allow the study of photocathodes' quantum efficiencies and ageing effects. The setup was also used to investigate possible protection layers and their effect on photocathodes. Over the course of this project, I had the opportunity to build a vacuum chamber (including pumps, gauges, valves, etc.); install a system that includes a light source together with a monochromator and optical components; and use light detection devices, instrument control and data acquisition softwares.

• Summer Student

  • Jul 2017 - Aug 2017

  This internship was focused on gaseous radiation detectors, how they work and their application in physics experiments. This was a three people activity which encouraged teamwork and cooperation. We worked with a Proportional Counter (PC), a Gas Proportional Scintillation Counter (GPSC) and a Drift Chamber where we characterized them in terms of energy resolution, SNR, etc. We also had the chance to do charge calibrations, acquire and treat data signals among other tasks.
