I hold a Bachelor degree (2015) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil). During my undergraduate studies, I had the opportunity to study and conduct undergraduate research at Purdue University, USA (2013), and the University of Alberta, Canada (2015). I obtained my M.Sc. degree from the University of Sao Paulo in 2017 and my research focused on the design of adjustable lower limb orthoses for children. I obtained my Ph.D. (2021) from the University of Auckland (New Zealand) and my doctoral research focused on modeling, design, and control of adaptive, robotic exoskeleton gloves for rehabilitation and dexterity augmentation. During my postdoctoral training at Harvard University, I worked on the design and development of soft, wearable robotic devices for upper-limb rehabilitation and muscle activity monitoring. Currently, I am an Associate of the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and a Product Development Engineer at Fisher & Paykel Healthcare (New Zealand) working on the design and manufacture of medical devices for acute and chronic respiratory care.
