Biography
I finished my MsC in Biomedical Engineering at FCT UNL but did my thesis at IBEB under supervision from Prof. Pedro Almeida. Then I joined Diana Prata’s team in 2017 as lab technician. My core responsibilities were to setup equipment (MRI, EEG, ECG, EDA, Eye Tracking) and to synchronize them with the behavioral paradigms and themselves for data collection. As increased my familiarity with the research topics discussed in the lab, so did my interest in Oxytocin and social cognition.
In 2019 I received FCT funding to enrol in FCUL’s biomedical and biophysics PhD program. My research goal is to describe Oxytocin’s effects on attention allocation and salience attribution using, primarily, eye tracking neurocorrelates. In the future I hope to continue to expand my expertise in Oxytocin with other neurocorrelates while also studying Oxytocin’s interplay with other neuropeptides.
