I'm a full researcher (investigador integrado) at the Centre for Ethics, Politics, and Society (CEPS) at the University of Minho, where I develop research in neuroethics. I’m also an invited assistant professor of Philosophy, with a special interest in Ethics and Political Philosophy.

I received my Ph.D. in Social and Political Philosophy from the University of Minho in 2024. My doctoral research focused on the ethics of human enhancement through biotechnology. In it, I proposed an ethical framework—Human Nature Developmentalism—to assess the moral permissibility of biomedical interventions, grounded in a robust conception of human nature and well-being.

I'm currently exploring the philosophical implications of emerging neurotechnologies, particularly Brain-Computer Interfaces. My work engages with the conceptual, ontological, and normative dimensions of these technologies, focusing on their potential to reshape our understanding of agency, identity, and autonomy.

I love traveling and spending time in nature; hiking, camping, and getting lost in the wild. Though my research often centres on philosophy, ethics, and cutting-edge technology, I find balance and inspiration in the simplicity of Nature. "In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous".

Besides being passionate about teaching, I'm also a bibliophile and a Cardano enthusiast.
