- Profile
-
After graduating in Bachelor + Master’s in Biomedical Engineering and Biophysics from the University of Lisbon, Portugal (2008-2013), I joined Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal, as a research assistant (2014-2015) and completed PhD in Magnetic Resonance Imaging at the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany (2015-2020).
I joined the University of Sheffield in 2020 and have been closely involved in medical image analysis.
- Qualifications
