Position
PhD student
Biochemistry Bsc in the University of Porto, with a final project (one semester) of computational methods associated with the simulation of a biological system. Biochemistry MSc in the University of Porto, with a thesis concerning a DFT study on carbon nanotube functionalization. Currently, I'm a PhD student in the High Performance Computing in Molecular Modelling research group, at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto, where I'm studying the reaction mechanism of serine hydrolase enzymes using QM/MM MD methods.
