2024/11/21 - Current | Presented in Neuroelectrics® webinar “How do cities shape mental health?” under the eMOTIONAL Cities project. I showcased
how a “smart backpack” recorded EEG, heart rate, and environmental data during Lisbon walks. Key findings (e.g., alertness
at pedestrian crossings; calm in green spaces) were discussed with webinar attendees to advance understanding of urban environments’
effects on brain and well-being. (2024/11/21)

2019/04 - Current | This discipline aims to provide the acquisition of essential knowledge about the function of the nervous system in an integrated perspective and in relation to Engineering. It includes a theoretical and practical activities on Neurophysiology (local field potentials / single-cell recordings). The theoretical part includes an introduction to the different levels of brain electrophysiological recording. The practical session consists on computing exercises about the analysis of real recordings of neuronal cells. | Engenharia Biomédica (Mestrado integrado) | Universidade de Lisboa Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal Universidade de Lisboa Faculdade de Medicina, Portugal |
2019/03 - Current | The main objective of this discipline is to introduce students to cellular function in relation to the behaviour of excitable cells that include the nervous and muscular systems, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, gastrointestinal and normal renal functions. The emphasis of teaching is through approaches with experimental evidence underlying current knowledge, and students are encouraged to develop their understanding of physiological processes as part of an active and distance learning strategy. | Ciências da Nutrição (Licenciatura) | Universidade de Lisboa Faculdade de Medicina, Portugal |

2017/11/09 - Current | The academic session is intended to provide the student with knowledge about the proper function of the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system and the autonomic nervous system in a homeostatic size, allowing it to later understand its dysfunction. On the other hand, emphasis is placed on understanding how the nervous system interacts with other organs and systems, as well as, in a reciprocal way, how the disturbance in the function of other organs and systems can affect the nervous system. | Medicina (Mestrado integrado) | Universidade de Lisboa Faculdade de Medicina, Portugal |

2025/02/24 - Current | I was featured on RTP’s programme Regiões, where I presented the eMOTIONAL Cities project and introduced Portugal’s first event on Neuroarchitecture and Neurourbanism. The segment highlighted how urban design influences emotional and physiological responses, and promoted the national launch of this emerging interdisciplinary field, showcased at the event held at MAAT-Central (and detailed on www.neurourbanismo.pt). | Neurourbanism and Neuroarchitecture |
2025/01/31 - Current | This interview was part of the eMOTIONAL Cities project, which used a smart backpack to measure brain activity, heart rate, and environmental data from volunteers walking through Lisbon. The findings revealed that pedestrian crossings triggered alertness, while green spaces, such as the Gulbenkian gardens, promoted calm. The goal is to support urban planning by demonstrating how different environments influence emotional and physiological states. | eMOTIONAL Cities project |
2017/12/03 - Current | I was interviewed by the public service broadcasting organisation of Portugal "RTP" to explain the project of the award "Prémio João Lobo Antunes". |
