About
A researcher who
likes to teach.
I’m a mechanical engineer and researcher in Sustainable Energy Systems at the University of Coimbra.
My research focuses on prospective life-cycle assessment of emerging technologies and biobased products, particularly how we can make environmental assessment useful when technologies are still developing.
Alongside research, I build educational resources through Zulfi’s Academy because I believe good knowledge becomes more valuable when it is shared clearly.
