Luciana Albuquerque received a PhD in Gerontology and Geriatrics (University of Aveiro and University of Porto - Portugal) in 2022, financially supported by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) in the scientific subarea Linguistics. She obtained her diploma in Speech Therapy in 2011 and completed her Master of Science in Speech and Hearing Sciences in 2013, both from the University of Aveiro. Since 2018, she has been a research member of the Center for Health Technology and Services Research (CINTESIS), and the Institute of Electronics and Informatics Engineering of Aveiro (IEETA). Her main research interest is in acoustic and articulatory speech analysis, namely the study of the acoustic and articulatory characteristics of vowels produced by European Portuguese speakers. She has also contributed to the field as a speech-language pathologist, holding positions in various institutions since 2011. Currently, she is a speech-language pathologist in Early Intervention teams in Aveiro region (Associação Nacional de Intervenção Precoce na Infância - ANIP).
