I am a master’s student in Food Science and Technology at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto and the School of Engineering of the University of Minho. At the moment I am developing my dissertation in the area of sensory analysis and consumer science. I participated as a research fellow in the Summer with Science program, which was created and funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia(FCT) and Direção-Geral do Ensino Superior (DGES). My line of research was on temporal methodologies in sensory analysis and application to a product with protected designation of origin, which was integrated into the project “Hands-on Science for Sustainable AgriFood Production: From the Soil to the Fork”. My interests in the area of food sciences include consumer science, sustainability of production and consumption, biotechnology and microbiology.
