I am a Ph.D. researcher at the University of Coimbra with extensive international experience in Portugal, Italy, Germany, and the United States. My research program focuses on the molecular, metabolic, and biomechanical mechanisms regulating physiological cardiac aging, with particular emphasis on developmental programming and organ crosstalk. My work integrates molecular and cellular data with multi-omics and FTIR-based machine learning pipelines to identify mechanistically grounded circulating biomarkers of age. I have been involved in national and international projects, including NIH- and European-funded projects. I have received competitive fellowships (FCT Ph.D. Scholarship; Fulbright; FLAD), presented my work in 30+ oral communications, 5 invited talks, and authored peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Advanced Science and Basic Research in Cardiology. I have a strong record of scientific service and leadership. I am a member of the Ethics Committee, and I serve on international scientific networks, including being nominated for the YRI Committee of COST Action EU METAHEART. I have reviewed over 65 manuscripts for high-impact journals in metabolism, cardiac biology, and aging. I am committed to research integrity, open science, and scientific outreach. I am author of 16 publications (first-author in 5) published in peer-reviewed journals, with over 440 citations (Scholar) and an H-index of 11 (Scholar) | 9 (Scopus).
