Interdisciplinary researcher and electronic engineer with expertise in bioelectronics, instrumentation, embedded systems, and sensing technologies. My research focuses on developing low-cost and scalable sensing platforms for extracellular electrophysiology, impedance analysis, and plant physiological monitoring. I have experience in analog electronics, ultra-low-noise measurement systems, microcontroller-based instrumentation, signal processing, and transducer development for biological applications. Currently, my work explores capacitive sensing technologies for environmental and agricultural monitoring, particularly in plant-based systems.
Currently a Junior Researcher at CCMAR – Centre of Marine Sciences (University of Algarve) under the FCT CEEC Individual program, developing research in accessible biosensing technologies and embedded instrumentation. My scientific background combines electronics, materials science, and biological systems, with contributions to bioelectronic interfaces, impedance spectroscopy, low-noise electrophysiology, and plant sensing technologies. I have authored and co-authored peer-reviewed scientific publications, participated in international conferences, mentored students from secondary education up to PhD level, contributed to science outreach activities, and served as a reviewer for international scientific journals. I am also actively involved in teaching, scientific communication, and interdisciplinary collaboration across engineering and life sciences.
