I am an Associate Professor at ISCTE-Sintra - School of Applied Digital Technologies. I hold a PhD in Psychology from the Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona (Spain). I am also the Principal Investigator (PI) of the “Interaction and Perception” Research Group at the Center for Basic Research in Psychology (Uruguay).

My research work in educational technology has a multidisciplinary focus on Education, Computer Sciences, and Cognitive and Social Psychology, to create inclusive and equitable learning opportunities for children, including children from low socio-economic backgrounds and those with visual impairments. Over the past six years, as the PI on seven international research projects, we developed educational and accessible technology with multisensory and interactive objects to potentiate learning, play, and collaboration among children.
