He is the author of the books, The Method of Intrinsic Scaling<\/em> (Springer, 2008) e The Infinity-Laplacian: from AMLEs to Machine Learning<\/em> (IMPA, 2023)and of around 70 scientific articles in equations with non-linear partial derivatives. He was principal investigator of five research projects evaluated and funded by FCT. He has organized several scientific events in Portugal and abroad, has been a guest speaker at around three dozen international conferences, and has carried out numerous editorial and review jobs. He was associate editor of the journal Nonlinear Analysis: Theory, Methods & Applications [2013-2020]. He has supervised six PhD students and ten post-doctoral students and has also served on several PhD juries at foreign universities (in Germany, Brazil, Chile, Finland, France and Italy). He has taught advanced courses at IMPA (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), the Technical University of Helsinki (Finland), the University of Florence (Italy), the Federal University of Cear\u00e1 (Fortaleza, Brazil), KAUST (Saudi Arabia) and Seoul National University (South Korea). He was a Special Visiting Researcher for Brazil\u2019s Science without Borders Program [2013-2015].<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was a member of the National Council for Science and Technology [2012-2015] and the Scientific Council for Exact Sciences and Engineering of the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) [2013-2016], President of the Mathematics Center of the University of Coimbra (CMUC) [2007-2011] and Vice-President of the Portuguese Mathematical Society (SPM) [2006-2008]. He was a member of the Board of the International Mathematics Center (CIM) [2004-2008] and of the Scientific Council of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra [2009-2013]. He was a member of the Scientific Coordinating Committee of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation\u2019s New Talents in Mathematics Program [2000-2021]. He was Director of the CMU|Portugal and UT Austin|Portugal Programs in Mathematics [2014-2018]. He was a member of the FCT evaluation panel for the award of individual PhD and Post-Doctoral scholarships in Mathematics in the 2011 and 2012 competitions and was the panel coordinator for the 2019, 2020 and 2021 competitions. He has chaired several external evaluation committees for mathematics courses within the scope of A3ES \u2013 Ag\u00eancia de Avalia\u00e7\u00e3o e Acredita\u00e7\u00e3o do Ensino Superior (Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Agency). He has evaluated grants and\/or projects for, among others, the European Commission (Marie-Curie Fellowships), the European Research Council (Starting Grants), the Academy of Finland, the Serrapilheira Institute and the Latvian Council of Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He is a Corresponding Member of the Class of Sciences (Mathematics Section) of the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon (since January 2020) and Editor-in-Chief of Portugaliae Mathematica. He was awarded the Gulbenkian Research Stimulus Program (1998) and received, ex-aequo, the Jos\u00e9 Anast\u00e1cio da Cunha Prize from SPM (2002).
