Academic Trajectory

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology (2011) and my Master’s degree in Behavioral Sciences (2015) at the University of Brasilia, Brazil, under the supervision of Professor Elenice Hanna. As an undergraduate student, I studied mostly stimulus control and the Equivalence Paradigm, working in projects that involved teaching reading and writing skills to underprivileged children and musical training with college students. My Master’s thesis involved recombinative learning of Taekwondo strikes. I also obtained a specialization in Clinical Behavior Analysis (2014) from IBAC (Instituto Brasiliense de Análise do Comportamento), under supervision of Ana Karina de-Farias. I joined the Animal Learning and Behavior Lab in 2015 as a PhD student in Basic Psychology at the University of Minho, Portugal. My supervisors are Professors Armando Machado and Marco Vasconcelos. I am supported by a scholarship from FCT (the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology).

 

Research interests

My current research interests are in interval timing. More specifically, I have been studying how time perception of humans and pigeons can be “distorted” by manipulating variables such as reinforcement magnitude and trial frequency in a bisection task.
