Recommendation,

As a lecturer (assistant professor) of Zootechnical Engineering taught by the Azores University, I had the

opportunity of having contact with the Engineer Bruno Miguel Mendonça Teles as his professor and later as

his internal mentor for his degree thesis.

Thus, for over a year and through almost daily contact that I maintained with Bruno, I had the opportunity and

privilege of participating in his academic training and to appreciate many of his qualities of which I have no

doubt will provide him very important assets for a most definitely guaranteed success in his professional life.

I hereby highlight his ease with interpersonal relationships, his humility, willingness, enthusiasm and

motivation with which he always commits to the carrying out of tasks which are asked of him.

Furthermore, his intelligence and insight made me recognize Bruno as one of my best students, if not the

best student that I have taught over the last 16 years as university lecturer.

I sincerely believe that this zootechnical engineer is well equipped with a range of human qualities and

technical and scientific knowledge that will give him a full guarantee of success in his future professional life.
