His work bridges climate policy, energy poverty research, and sustainable urban development, with over 50 peer-reviewed publications and 3500+ citations reflecting significant global impact in sustainability science. His academic foundation includes: Bachelor in Environmental Engineering Master in Environmental Engineering Master in Sustainable Urbanism and Spatial Planning PhD in Climate Change and Sustainable Development Policies Dr. Gouveia's research centers on energy poverty mitigation , climate-resilient urban planning , and carbon-neutral transitions , with particular focus on vulnerable populations. As head of the FireFly Energy Lab and coordinator of CENSE's CHANGE thematic line, he develops frameworks for inclusive energy policies while addressing thermal vulnerability in Mediterranean contexts. His work integrates behavioral science with spatial analysis to expose gaps in EU energy transition strategies. Recent publications reveal three critical trends: (1) deepening analysis of hard-to-reach energy users across Europe, (2) methodological innovations in energy poverty measurement at subnational scales, and (3) urgent examination of policy conflicts between decarbonization targets and social equity. His Iberian Peninsula studies demonstrate how thermal vulnerability disproportionately impacts students and low-income households despite national climate commitments. As principal investigator for EU Energy Poverty Advisory Hub initiatives and former COST Action coordinator, Dr. Gouveia secures major policy-relevant grants while supervising doctoral candidates. His projects translate academic insights into actionable tools like digital one-stop shops for building renovations and vulnerability mapping frameworks adopted by municipal governments across Southern Europe.
