He is an important civil engineer of Angolan and Portuguese nationality, defending a functional engineering unavoidably related to architecture. At 16 he came to study in Portugal. He enrolled in electrical engineering at the Instituto Superior Técnico in 1961. However, he changed course and city, first to Coimbra and then to Porto, where he finally concluded his degree in civil engineering in 1968 at the Faculdade de Engenharia of the Universidade do Porto. As the best student of his year, he received the Engenheiro António de Almeida Foundation Award and was invited by Ferreira Borges to be an assistant at the Instituto Superior Técnico, where he remained until 1973, responsible for the Materials Resistance and Applied Elasticity and Plasticity chairs. He collaborated with the Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil, between 1969 and 1975, which got him publication of his book Análise Matricial de Estruturas, in 1972. His arrival in the metropolis made him not indifferent to the associative movement against the dictatorship, getting involved in the strikes of 1962, when the academic mourning was decreed. He would again be associated with the fight against the dictatorship when he returned to Angola. He was a supporter of the MPLA and, in Luanda, he became a teacher at the Faculty of Engineering of Luanda, Regent of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete and Applied Elasticity between 1974 and 1975. An assault on his home in October 1975 made to return immediately to Portugal. Upon his arrival, he began teaching at Universidade Nova de Lisboa and, since 1999, has is a Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering at the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia. As an engineer, he held various positions after April 25th revolution, such as director of the Department of Studies and Projects of Teixeira Duarte SA from 1976 to 1980, technical director of Triede Lda. between 1980 and 1986, and director of Segadães Tavares & Associados, a studies and projects office which he founded in 1986.

In 2004, he was the first Portuguese to win the Outstanding Structure Award (OStrA), the engineering nobel, for the expansion of Madeira Airport, awarded by the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE). Also with this construction work, he received the Secil Award in 2001 and the Leca Award in 1998. In April 2012 the Universidade Nova de Lisboa awarded him the Honoris causa PhD. He is an advisory member of the Ordem dos Engenheiros, specialist in structures, an institution he represented on the Higher Council of Public Works from 1983 to 1986 and in which he chaired the Southern Engineering Specialization Commission between 1989 and 1992.
