I initiate my scholar activity in 2004 as a PhD student just after completion of the Degree in Applied Chemistry, with a final classification of 17/(20), with excellent marks in Thermodynamics, Computational Sciences, and Physical-Chemistry and Organic Chemistry group of disciplines. I was awarded a prize as second-best student of Applied Chemistry (2003/2004). During the PhD I developed laboratorial and chemoinformatic work on physico-chemical properties of ionic liquids and prediction of chemical reactivity of groups of reactions. I developed, during the Posdoc, work on Phase Behaviour and CO2 capture systems. The recent aim of my research consists on the study of CO2, organic molecules  and Ionic Liquid-based systems from a chemoinformatic perspective. The applications consist on:  1 - Phase-equilibrium studies, prediction and comprehension of the reasons behind a certain configuration's behaviour.  2 - Recognition of generical characteristics of chemical systems, pure compounds and mixtures that correspond to a certain physico-chemical property-value and optimize predictive ability.
