In his teaching activity, he has collaborated on courses in the scientific areas of Forestry Engineering and Food Engineering. He has supervised more than 120 bachelor's and 27 master's theses and is currently co-supervising 2 doctoral theses. He has held institutional positions and has been elected to various advisory and management bodies at IPCB/ESA. His area of research has focused on industrial technology, namely forestry technology (mainly cork and pulp and paper and extractives) and food technology (mainly alcoholic beverages, spirits and wine, and hive products) including the development of new cork products. The work in different areas has, however, been carried out from an integrated and multidisciplinary perspective. Concerning analytical methodologies, the main focus has been on spectroscopy techniques (FTIR, NIR, and RAMAN) and chromatography in various matrices.
