PortugalWhat I'm looking for
At LEPABE, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, I led the writing of eight first-author peer-reviewed manuscripts, from literature evaluation and data interpretation through drafting, submission, and revisions. I also prepared point-by-point responses to reviewers and contributed writing and revisions to co-authored publications.
As an ad hoc reviewer for Scientific Reports, Biofouling, and Journal of Applied Microbiology, I assess methodology, evidence, interpretation, and clarity. My research has spanned infectious diseases, antimicrobial therapies, and oncology-related nanomedicine, and I’m interested in applying my publication expertise to evaluating and improving AI-assisted scientific writing.
