Research interests
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University Medical Center Groningen (Netherlands). I hold a dual Ph.D. degree from the Graduate Program in Rehabilitation and Functional Performance (Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto - University of São Paulo) and the Department of Human Movement Sciences (University Medical Center Groningen, University of Groningen - Netherlands), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Tibor Hortobágyi. In 2019, I completed a four-month Research Internship Abroad (BEPE) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Andrew Sawers. I hold a Master's degree in Sciences from the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto in the Graduate Program in Rehabilitation and Functional Performance. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Physical Education and Sports from the School of Physical Education and Sports of Ribeirão Preto (EEFERP-USP) and a Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy from the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto (FMRP-USP). Additionally, I have training in Global Postural Reeducation / Sensorimotor Reprogramming (RPG / RSM) and Acupuncture from the Instituto Paulista de Estudos Sistêmicos, as well as a technical degree in Dance from Studium Carla Petroni Technical Dance School. I have conducted research on children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and patients with Parkinsons Disease, but my primary interest lies in healthy aging. My current focus is on the kinetic and kinematic analysis of gait in older adults, particularly through the study of muscle synergies and corticomuscular and intermuscular coherence. At present, I analyze large datasets to explore the relationships between environmental, personal, and lifestyle factors with healthy living habits and health outcomes.
