History & Philosophy Publications
These are my published research outputs. I'll be happy to discuss these further via email.
I actively engage in History of Science research, having published on chemistry’s role in the emergence of Portuguese food regulations and how it can help understand ongoing issues on fake-science. At the interface of AI, chemistry, and ethics, I also developed research in philosophy of science, examining how AI reshapes discovery in chemistry. I was awarded a Fulbright Research Scholarship at the University of California, Irvine (USA), developing research on the role of chemistry in science-based regulation and misinformation. I have developed computer-based epistemic models to predict science-based discovery outcomes and exploring the emergence of science-driven policies.
