Luis has been a registered nurse since 2006, with extensive clinical and academic experience across diverse national and international contexts. He joined King’s College London in October 2021, where he works as a lecturer, after previously developing his career as a critical care nurse, mentor, practice educator, and charge nurse.

Trained as a nurse in Portugal, Luis became an expert in critical care nursing and developed parallel expertise in teaching, leadership, and quality improvement. His academic interests extend beyond clinical practice into philosophy and law. He holds a master’s degree in Bioethics, where his work on acute/critical care and end-of-life decision-making contributed to bioethical debates and the legal implementation of advance directives in Portugal.

In recent years, Luis has expanded his research and teaching portfolio, leading and participating in projects related to ethics, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality in nursing education. Through these initiatives, he continues to advance innovation in nursing practice, education, and policy, while promoting interdisciplinary collaboration at both national and international levels.
