He has a PhD in social anthropology (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London).

He researches  the history of Portuguese colonialism, especially in Mozambique during the period of the Estado Novo. In his PhD he produced a historical anthropology of colonial Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, focusing on the dissemination of modern popular culture in the form of sports practices and consumptions. More recentlly he began a research project on the history of Portuguese wine in the colonial and postcolonial contexts. This last project is deeply related with the broader development of studies on the anthropology of food at ICS.

In his master's thesis he explored the dynamics of the Portuguese corporatism through the study of an opera company based in Lisbon. After that, but still related with the Portuguese Estado novo, he published researches on reading practices and on the history of sport in Portugal.
