Ricardo A.M.P. Gomes works in Anthropology with an emphasis on Biological Anthropology and Paleopathology. He completed the MSc in Human Evolution and Biology in 2012 and the bachelor’s degree in Anthropology in 2010, both at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Currently, he is attending the PhD program in Anthropology, with a specialization in Biological Anthropology, supported by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia. The main focus of its PhD research is the possible association between porous skeletal lesions, both from identified and archaeological samples, with variations in trace elements measured by x-ray fluorescence. He also has five years of experience as an academic at the University of Concepción, Chile. Here he supervised and co-supervised 2 masters and 17 bachelor dissertations. He has published 11 articles in journals, organized 3 events, and participated as principal investigator in 2 projects. He has also a large involvement in outreach activities such as scientific events and science communication, particularly in schools.
