I would describe myself as a passionate educator, researcher, and lifelong learner with a strong commitment to making complex topics accessible and engaging. My academic journey—spanning a PhD at Imperial College London, a Master’s in Power Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and a Master’s in Energy and Environmental Engineering from the University of Lisbon—has equipped me with deep technical knowledge and a proven ability to communicate intricate concepts clearly. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and practical problem-solving skills, ensuring that students not only understand the material but also feel empowered to apply it in real-world scenarios.
My lessons are aimed at a diverse range of learners, including:
University Students and Early-Career Researchers: I specialize in tutoring advanced topics such as renewable energy systems, AI and machine learning applications in energy, optimization techniques, and data analysis using tools like MATLAB and Python. My experience mentoring junior researchers and leading collaborative projects makes me well-suited to guide students through challenging academic and research tasks.
Professionals in the Energy Sector: With over eight years of experience as a Head of R&D Engineer and policy analyst, I offer lessons tailored to professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of energy transition, sustainability, and emerging technologies like green hydrogen and offshore wind. My practical insights from working with organizations like the World Energy Council and the World Bank add real-world relevance to my teaching.
High School and Undergraduate Students: I am equally passionate about inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers. My lessons for younger learners focus on foundational topics in mathematics, physics, and environmental science, delivered in an interactive and engaging manner to spark curiosity and build confidence.
Multicultural and Multilingual Audiences: Having worked and studied in Europe, China, and the UK, I am adept at tailoring my teaching style to suit diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My fluency in Portuguese, English, and Chinese allows me to connect with students from different parts of the world.
