I love to learn! I am curious about everything and I like challenges. Solving problems using a naïve approach and perceiving trends is some of things I think I do best. I work hard everyday to be at the forefront of knowledge and to devise novel and different means to solve problems! Let us put my brain working for the betterment of mankind.



​​I AM A MEDICAL DOCTOR

I've graduated from the Faculty of Medicine, Unversity of Lisbon in 2012. I've been a consultant at a local hospital in neuroimaging for pre-surgical planning. I am planning to further advanced medicine by combining knowledge from different fields.

​

​I AM A PHYSICS ENGINEER AND I HAVE A PHD IN PHYSICS
I've graduated from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon in 2001. I also did my PhD at IST, in the topic of nanotechnologies applied to medicine. My PhD work was done at INESC - Microsystems and Nanotechnologies and at the Bioengineering Research Group, Department of Chemistry, IST.

 

​I AM AN INNOVATOR AND ENTREPRENEUR
I always innovate in the places I work, either sprouting and developing new routes of research, devising novel devices and applications, creating new courses and even starting new ventures. I was a founder and CEO of Haloris Nanotechnologies and I also inspired others to follow.

 

I AM A TEACHER
I try also to innovate in classes, with regards both to content and evaluation. My students at classes have done works that were communicated, published or released in the internet; they even have done short films! Presently at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon I teach mainly Biomedical Engineering and Biophysics students. I am responsible for the courses on Nanotechnologies in Biomedicine; Tissue Engineering and Artificial Organs; Medical Robotics and Neurosciences. 

 

I AM A SCIENTIST

I am senior researcher at the Institute of Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. My main areas of research include Medical Imaging (mainly magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and breast but more recently also on multimodal imaging namely positron-emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging) and Human-Computer Interfaces/Physiological Computing (which include brain-computer interfaces, muscle computer interfaces, gesture recognition optical devices, eye-tracking, and interfaces resourcing to electrocardiograhy and oxymetry). Finally, I also collaborating in other topics related to Microvascular research, Nanorobotics, Hyperthermia and the development of Smart-materials for biomedical applications.
