Scientific Activities

Bachelor Project During the last semester of the Bachelor Degree in Physics, I worked on a research project

with Doctor Marco Grossi, studying the colors and metallicities of blue compact dwarfgalaxies (BCD) in the Virgo Cluster. I analised photometric and spectroscopic data fromthe SDSS for a sample of BCDs and derived estimates for the metallicities, trying toevaluate the effect of the dense cluster environment in the evolution of these objects.

Posters I presented two different posters on the colors and metallicities of BCD on the FsicaIlimitada conference (FCUL, Lisbon, May 2011) and on the XXI National Astronomy andAstrophysics Meeting (Coimbra, September 2011).

Amateur

Observations

I coordinated and participated in many workshops about observation and general use ofamateur telescopes on the Astronomical Observatory of Lisbon. These include night skyrecognition, telescope alignment and CCD astrophotography.
