Digital life & temporalities
Hyperconnectivity, subjective time, attention and the everyday social experience of digital technologies.
About me
I am a researcher in Communication Sciences working across digital media, human–computer interaction, sustainability and emerging technologies. My work asks how people experience technological and social change — and how research can become meaningful in practice.
Research trajectory
My academic path began in Communication Sciences at the State University of Londrina, continued with a Master’s in Multimedia Communication at the University of Aveiro, and culminated in a PhD in Communication Sciences at the University of Minho. That progression shaped an interdisciplinary profile grounded in communication while gradually expanding towards digital media, technology and human-centred research.
My research has since developed across universities, European projects and international collaborations in Portugal and Brazil, addressing questions involving hyperconnectivity, temporal experience, interface evaluation, environmental communication and public engagement with research.
Rather than treating technology, communication and sustainability as separate fields, I am interested in the points where they meet: how people interpret technologies, how interfaces structure experience, how institutions communicate knowledge, and how research reaches the communities expected to use it.
What connects my work
Hyperconnectivity, subjective time, attention and the everyday social experience of digital technologies.
User-centred evaluation of interfaces, digital tools and interactive systems in real-world contexts.
Environmental communication, stakeholder engagement, ocean literacy and the societal uptake of research.
Human, ethical and communicative questions raised by rapidly evolving technological systems.
