My background spans micro and nanotechnology from bachelor to PhD, with hands-on experience in wafer packaging, nanofabrication, and nanomaterials, and I enjoy turning complex challenges into practical solutions through cross-disciplinary collaboration. Beyond research, I lead a personal music project as an independent producer and drummer, exploring sound design and storytelling. I’m active in outreach, have contributed to university open days, and love building 3D models of real-world spaces using Blender. I’m fluent in Portuguese and English with working Spanish, and I’m comfortable working under pressure in multicultural environments.
