At the PhD he is studying the Olympic Games, with the project entitled "Sustainable Urban Development and Mega-Events: The impacts of the Olympic Agenda 2020 in future Olympic Legacies" (in CiTUA). He has also studied mega-event planning during his master dissertation, with the title "Mega-events and Urban Requalification: The case of Lisbon and the Olympic Games". His passion for mega-event led him to create his own tourism business, which operated for two years in Parque das Nações, the former site of Expo'98, in Lisbon, with the objective of enhancing and showcasing the urban, architectural, artistic, and historical legacies of the event for the newest centrality of the city. Between his MSc graduation and PhD enrolment, he has also worked in other research projects in the field of transport and urban planning: ShortSeaChain - Evaluation of short sea shipping services integrated in supply chains (2019, in IST, CENTEC); A decision support model for the optimal siting and sizing of storage units in stormwater drainage systems (2016, in University of Coimbra, Department of Civil Engineering); InnoVshare - Viability analysis of different carsharing system configurations through an innovative agent based simulation model (2015, in IST).
