My main research interest is the brain-behavior association and I have a background in pharmaceutical sciences (University of Lisbon), pharmacology (University of Lisbon), neuropharmacology (Vrije Universiteit Brussel and University of Coimbra), and cognitive neuroscience (University of Minho, University of Coimbra and NOVA University of Lisbon). After my PhD, which I finished in July 2018, I was involved two main projects: the effects of coffee on human resting-state networks and decision-making, and the brain networks of decision-making in rodents. Also, I was awarded a grant to initiate my first project as a principal investigator, focused on the establishment of a parallel between human and rodent impulsive decision-making assessment. Indeed, my most recent career has been marked by this dual (rodent and human) approach to brain networks and cognition, aiming to improve the translational reach of my research. My first paper was published in 2017, and I currently have 17 papers published in high impact journals (9 as first author). I am also first author in one book chapter. The average impact factor of these works is 5.6, and they were cited 89 times (Scopus), rendering an H-Index of 6.
