I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Languages and Cultures (DLC), University of Aveiro, where I teach courses in terminology, specialised translation, English and German linguistics, and technical communication. Before joining the DLC, I was an Assistant Professor at the Águeda School of Technology and Management - University of Aveiro from September 2002 to December 2023.
I hold a PhD in Linguistics, specialising in Lexicology, Lexicography and Terminology, from the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities – Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (NOVA FCSH). My thesis, entitled “A terminological approach to knowledge organization within the scope of endometriosis: the EndoTerm project”, was developed within the scope of a co-tutelle agreement between the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa and the Communauté Université Grenoble Alpes.
I also hold an MA in German Studies – specialisation in German Linguistics – from the University of Aveiro (UA). I graduated in Modern Languages and Literature (English and German Studies) at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities – University of Coimbra and in my undergraduate studies, I had the opportunity to spend a year studying at Universität Leipzig.
I am currently a researcher in the Translation and Terminology Group, part of the Languages, Literatures and Cultures Research Centre of the University of Aveiro (CLLC-UA), as well as in the LLT (Lexicology, Lexicography and Terminology) Group, part of the Linguistics Research Centre of NOVA University Lisbon (NOVA CLUNL). I am also a member of the ISO/TC 37 and the Portuguese mirror committee “CT 221 – Terminologia, Língua e Linguagens” at the Portuguese Institute for Quality (IPQ).
I am proud to be one of the co-founders of the Portuguese Association Supporting Women with Endometriosis (MulherEndo). You can learn more about our work here.
