About
Graduated in Animal Production Enginnering from University of Évora in 1991. PhD in Rural Engineering from University of Évora in 2006. Lecturer at the University of Évora from 1991 until 2006. Assistent professor at the Department of Rural Engineering since december 2006. Teaches several undergraduate and master's courses in the scientific area of biosystems engineering. The research area has been agricultural mechanization, mainly olive pruning mechanization and mechanical olive harvesting. Also developed research in the mechanical pruning of pear and almond orchards. carried out development and testing of prototypes for mechanival olive harvesting and also for removing by-products from pear orchards. Recently was involved in the valorization of olive by-products through the production of compost and testing equipment for its application in the olive grove.
