About Me

I graduated in Biology in the University of Évora in 2007 and completed my Master's degree in Ecology and  Environmental Management in the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon in 2011. Afterwards, I graduated in Optometry and Vision Sciences and got my Master's degree in Advanced Optometry in the University of Minho. Now, I am a PhD student of Optometry and Vision Sciences in the same university, where I aim to explore the influence of environmental spectral statistics and brain plasticity in the colour vision of dichromats, specifically, how they determine their colour naming.

Main Research Interests

Colour vision and colour vision deficiencies

Chromatic discrimination

Hyperspectral imaging
