Biography
I hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Physiotherapy. My master’s research focused on the effects of sensorimotor training, where I investigated the impact of combining sensorimotor exercises with non-invasive brain stimulation on cortical sensorimotor signals and spinal proprioception. Through this work, I developed strong laboratory skills, including experience with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electromyography and nerve conduction velocity (EMG-NCV), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and cortical signal analysis.
Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Neuroscience, where my research examines the effects of experimental pain on sensorimotor decision-making. I work with advanced technologies such as the Kinarm exoskeleton to study how pain and movement cost influence movement strategies, visual behavior, and decision processes. My broader research goal is to better understand the mechanisms of pain and their impact on behavior and activities of daily living.
Ultimately, I aim to translate these findings into innovative approaches in rehabilitation and neuroscience, contributing to the development of more effective, personalized interventions for individuals living with pain.
