These contributions highlight his capacity to theorize and publish based on real-world industrial challenges. His current research focus aligns directly with major European challenges and Portugal's National Strategy for Smart Specialization (ENEI 2030), specifically in the domain of Digital Transition. By bridging the gap between theoretical research and market-ready solutions, his profile is exceptionally tailored for the FCT Specific Line for Non-Academic Environments. He possesses the necessary entrepreneurial resilience, management maturity, and technical robustness to successfully conduct advanced R&D. His main doctoral objective is to apply rigorous scientific methods to create and validate disruptive, human-centric technological solutions, ensuring that knowledge generated in the university environment is swiftly and efficiently transferred to the business sector, promoting economic value creation, sustainability, and innovation with a direct impact on society.
