Currently I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at University of Madeira in the Engineering Department. I am motivated professional with extensive knowledge in User Experience Research and Human- Computer Interaction data analysis methods that help assess, design and evaluate products, applications or services to better serve customer needs. I have conducted research mostly in the area of Energy consumption and production with small businesses and private households, but also used Child-Computer Interaction methodologies to assess energy related concepts and life-long learning skills.
