Tell us a bit about the work you’ll be doing at CCMAR.
At CCMAR, I will develop scalable bioelectronic platforms that combine PEDOT:PSS tattoo-like sensors, embedded instrumentation, and machine-learning-based signal analysis to monitor plant physiological stress — especially salt and water stress in halophytes. The goal is to deliver low-cost, field-ready tools for precision agriculture, sustainable ecosystem monitoring, and data-driven soil and water management.
What were you doing before you joined us?
In recent years, I worked at Instituto de Telecomunicações in Prof. Henrique Gomes’ research group, where I completed my PhD under his and Rute Félix’s (CCMAR) supervision. I then joined CEOT, applying my sensor technology expertise, initially in biomedical contexts and later in plant sensing applications.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I’m a sports enthusiast - running and playing football are my favorites. I also enjoy reading and going to the cinema. Above all, I value quality time with my family and make a point of dedicating time to shared moments and experiences.
