I'm a Biomedical Engineering student at the University of Aveiro, currently in the first year of my Master's degree. During my academic career, I try to associate myself with different forms of knowledge, both to acquire interpersonal skills and to learn new subjects (both inside and outside my academic area), so that I can serve the academic community and grow on a personal level. In the field of Biomedical Engineering, I have a particular interest in medical physics, neuroscience and the development of innovative products in the field of biomedicine.

I am currently the Head of Powertrain at NexusUA, where I oversee the development of cutting-edge systems for our electric vehicle prototypes. My responsibilities include the design, manegement and execution of key components such as the cooling system, power transmission from the motor to the wheels, high-voltage system management, and, most critically, the integration of these elements into a unified and fully operational vehicle. This work is focused on achieving our goal of competing in the Formula Student Portugal (FSPT) Class II competition in 2025.
Grade (german system): 1.3 This module focused on the study and application of advanced metabolic imaging techniques for medical diagnostics and research, with particular emphasis on cancer and its metabolic behavior. It explored the physical and biochemical principles underlying these technologies and their relevance in characterizing tumor metabolism, proliferation, and response to therapy. Core topics included the Warburg effect, alterations in metabolic pathways in cancer cells, and the use of imaging modalities to assess glycolytic activity, hypoxia, and amino acid metabolism within tumors. A significant component of the module involved hands-on preclinical training with mouse models, encompassing practical sessions in PET, MRI, optical imaging, metabolic profiling, and microscopy, enabling the investigation of cancer from cellular to whole-animal levels.
