I am a Health and Clinical Psychologist (Neuropsychology sub-specialty) by Ordem dos Psicólogos with a PhD. in Rehabilitation Psychology from the University of Coimbra. Additionally, I am invited assistant professor at the University of Madeira (Department of Psychology) and integrated researcher at NOVA LINCS.

In the past years my research work mainly involved the development of virtual reality -based cognitive rehabilitation tools, and its clinical validation with stroke patients from Madeira Health Service. Currently, I am actively involved in the field of virtual reality-based tests for complex cognitive functions mapping in tumor resection through awake craniotomy.
