About

Tomás Cavaco holds a BSc and a MSc in Agricultural Engineering from the School of Agriculture, University of Lisbon, specializing in Plant Protection and earning the maximum grade for his thesis. His MSc research focused on developing bionematicidal volatiles against the pinewood nematode, integrating both in vitro and in silico approaches.

During his MSc degree, he was enrolled at the Wageningen University and Research (WUR), in the Netherlands, in the context of an ERASMUS exchange program, where he studied Plant Sciences.

From 2022 to 2024, Tomás was a research intern at the Laboratory of Nematology at the National Institute for Agrarian and Veterinary Research (INIAV, Portugal). From 2023 to 2024, he was a MSc student at the Rita C. Guedes Lab, the Computational Medicinal Chemistry Lab of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Lisbon.

In January 2025, Tomás has begun his PhD focusing on microbial metabolism to enhance the fermentation of plant-based proteins. This project is being carried out in the Bachmann group within the Systems Biology Lab, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam), the Netherlands.

His research interests include computational chemistry, microbial metabolism, molecular microbiology, plant sciences, specialized metabolites, and volatile organic compounds.

Metrics description

h-index

A scientist has an h-index if h of his N publications are cited at least h times each, while the remaining (N - h) publications are cited no more than h times each.

https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.0507655102

i10-index

The number of the author's publications that received at least 10 links each.

https://scholar.googleblog.com/2011/11/google-scholar-citations-open-to-all.html

m-index

The researcher's m-index is numerically equal to the ratio of his h-index to the number of years that have passed since the first publication.

https://harzing.com/publications/white-papers/reflections-on-the-h-index

o-index

The geometric mean of the h-index and the number of citations of the most cited article of the scientist.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.01545

g-index

For a given set of articles, sorted in descending order of the number of citations that these articles received, the g-index is the largest number such that the g most cited articles received (in total) at least g² citations.

https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-006-0144-7

w-index

If w articles of a researcher have at least 10w citations each and other publications are less than 10(w+1) citations, then the researcher's w-index is equal to w.
