Musicologist and integrated researcher at the Centre for Music Studies (CESEM), NOVA University Lisbon. He coordinates the Sound and Music in Digital and Audiovisual Media team (CysMus), within the SociMus group and GTCC, and is a member of the Gender and Music Studies Group (NEGEM). His research is situated in sociomusicology and audiovisual studies, focusing on music and sound as socially and technologically situated practices within digital, interactive and audiovisual media. His work addresses the intersections between music, technology, creative occupations and power relations, with particular attention to peripheral production contexts, professional practices and audio technologies from the late twentieth century to the present. He holds a PhD in Musicology from NOVA FCSH (2024), funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT). His doctoral research examined how music functions as a key semiotic and cultural mediator in audiovisual representations of digital technologies—such as robots, AI, and cyborgs—across European film, television, music videos, and video games, combining musicological analysis with sociocultural and media-theoretical perspectives. He has published in national and international peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes and has co-edited two collective books. He regularly presents his research at international conferences and is actively involved in research coordination, editorial work and peer review. Alongside his academic activity, he engages in public dissemination through cultural criticism, workshops and masterclasses, contributing to dialogue between research, creative professionals and wider audiences. He is also involved in specialised music education, teaching music production and audio implementation for video games within a professional artistic and technological training programme in Portugal, directly connecting his research on game audio, creative work and production practices with the training of future professionals. He also maintains an artistic practice as a music producer and sound designer for audiovisual, digital and multimedia contexts.
