About
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Physics from São Paulo State University (UNESP), Botucatu, São Paulo. During my undergraduate studies, I gained hands-on experience in radiology laboratories, radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, and magnetic resonance imaging, both in theory and practice. My academic journey included two significant internships: one at the Center for Environmental Stable Isotopes and Liquid Nitrogen (IBB-UNESP), where I worked with stable environmental isotopes, and another at the Gleb Wataghin Physics Institute (IFGW) of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), where I explored the integration of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) with Electroencephalography (EEG-fMRI).
I pursued both a Master’s degree and a PhD in Neuroscience at UNICAMP, where I applied advanced computational techniques to analyze MRI data from epilepsy patients. My research focused on leveraging neuroimaging methods to
deepen our understanding of neurological disorders. Currently, I am a Research Physicist in the Neuroimaging Laboratory within the Department of Neurology at UNICAMP. In this role, I employ multimodal imaging techniques to bridge the fields of Neuroscience and Neurophysics, contributing to innovative approaches in brain research.
