Publications
These are my published research outputs. I'm happy to discuss these further via email.
Currently I work with Artificial Intelligence and Data Science to develop new molecular entities towards process chemistry on my MIT Portugal Project. My upcoming publications will feature Machine Learning models for catalytic epoxidation yield predictions and chemical property calculations.
I am also working on other topics in the History and Philosophy of Science, including the “emergence of Portuguese food safety”, “epistemic modelling to describe science-based regulations” and how “scientists’ behaviour drive public policies”.
