Short biography
Associate Professor of Paleontology at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT NOVA). He has a degree in Biology (Univ. of Évora) and a PhD in Paleontology from the FCT NOVA. His main area of interest is dinosaur paleontology (bones, eggs and footprints), especially from the Jurassic of Portugal, but he also deals with other reptiles (mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, crocodiles, turtles, etc.). He is the author or co-author of more than 300 publications (book chapters, scientific articles and conference abstracts). Since 1991 he has participated in and organized dinosaur excavations in Portugal, mainly in collaboration with the Lourinhã Museum, known for its important dinosaur collection. In Angola, he discovered the country's first dinosaur as part of the PaleoAngola Project. His interest in dinosaurs has led him to carry out excavations in the United States, Brazil, Greenland, Laos, Tunisia, Mozambique, Mongolia, Morocco and Angola.
He is an Associate Researcher at the Lourinhã Museum and the founder and president of the Portuguese Paleontological Society.
