I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Twente's Department of Design, Production and Management. My research has focused on designing, developing and evaluating tools that support health and wellbeing, particularly physical activity behaviors. Before moving to Twente, I received a Phd in Human Computer Interaction from the University of Madeira (2019) where I was the holder of a National PhD studentship awarded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology. I also hold a MS and BS in Computer Science.
I often publish in top-tier venues in the field of HCI, such as CHI and Ubicomp. My full list of publications can be found on google scholar.
Exploring the everyday use of health and wellness tools
We have focused on the development and field trial of novel research prototypes, with the goal of understanding the use and adoption of tools that promote health and wellness, and their impact on people’s behaviors. read more

Supporting recollection with lifelogging
Clinically diagnosed memory disorders such as Alzheimer disease, impair episodic memories, drawing people away from their natural ability of recalling past experiences.
In this project, we have developed lifelogging systems with the goal of supporting memory recollection of significant experiences. read more
