For the academic year 2022/2023, she has been appointed as a Teaching Fellow in Developmental Psychology at the School of Philosophy, Psychology & Language Sciences at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Sara develops scientific activities in the field of developmental psychology, specifically neurodevelopment, with a particular interest in studying neuropsychophysiological correlates of cognition and behaviour, in infancy and childhood, with typical and atypical populations. Her PhD research was supported by a PhD scholarship from the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT; SFRH/BD/68263/2010) and was awarded the 2013 Simbiontes Prize for the 'Best Scientific Work Illustrating a Neurodevelopmental Study' by the Associação Viver a Ciência, Cascais, Portugal. Sara has contributed to the scientific literature in developmental psychology through the systematic publication of scientific papers and by attending and presenting at national and international conferences. Her publication record, conference presentations and proceedings, and recognition through awards and prizes demonstrate her contribution to the generation of impactful scientific knowledge, as well as her ability to continue to disseminate scientific knowledge through the publication of scientific articles in the field of developmental psychology.
