José Francisco Ferreira Queiroz was born in Gaia in 1973. In 1994, he graduated in History (variant: Art) from the University of Porto. At the same university, he completed his Master's degree in 1997 and his PhD in 2003, both in Art History. Between 2009 and 2014, he undertook postdoctoral research funded by the FCT at CEPESE, where he became assistant coordinator of the ‘Heritage, Culture and Tourism’ research group (until 2017). In the following years, he continued to be a member of CEPESE's board. In 2011, he founded the ‘Saudade Perpétua’ group, dedicated to the Romantic Era in Portugal, and since 2022, he has been the main editor of the scientific journal ‘RomantHis’. He is also a collaborator of the Tile Research Network (Az, ARTIS - IHA/FLUL). Between 2000 and 2015, he was a lecturer at the ESAP, where he taught History of Architecture and Urbanism, History of Urbanism in Portugal, and some modules on Rehabilitation in the Integrated Master's Degree in Architecture. He was also the coordinator of its Autonomous Section of Theory and History. In 2018-2019, he was a visiting lecturer at the University of the Azores, where he taught Urban History and co-taught History of Art in Portugal and History of Portugal and Built Heritage in the History and Basic Education degree programmes. Since 1994, Francisco Queiroz has been conducting research in various areas, both individually (for academic and other purposes) and as part of broader research projects. He has also acted as a consultant, at the request of institutions and companies, or following public contracts. At the same time, he has conceived and guided author tours and taught several advanced training courses, some of which were pioneering in Portugal. He is also an handwriting expert. In Art History, Francisco Queiroz always had the Long Nineteenth Century as his preferred chronology for research, being a recognised specialist in the cemetery art of that period and a reference in the study of other typically romantic art forms, such as façade tiles or decorative ironwork. In thematic terms, crossing various chronologies, he has mainly researched Urbanism, Architecture (erudite and vernacular, urban and rural) and Decorative Arts - namely those applied to buildings, such as stucco and mural painting, as well as other arts linked to industry or technique, such as metal casting, ornamental stonework, architectural ceramics, and photography. Francisco Queiroz has also conducted research on genealogy, family history, and local history, and is the founder of the "Genealogia sem Segredos" project and co-author of the only manual available on the subject (which has already had two editions). He is also the person who has provided the most training on genealogy in Portugal. Another of his research topics is the rehabilitation of historic centres from an integrated perspective, including the issue of criteria for intervention in built heritage and the impact of tourism. He is the author or co-author of over one hundred scientific articles and around forty books (in Portuguese, French, Spanish, English, Italian and Polish).
