I am a researcher in Digital Humanities at CODA - Center for Digital Culture and Innovation and an integrated member of ILCML (Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of Porto). Between 2021 and 2022, I was a postdoc researcher at NOVAFCSH, Institute for the Study of Literature and Tradition (IELT), within the EU-funded project VAST Project_Values Across Space and Time [https://www.vast-project.eu/]. I co-organized, in 2020, a volume of essays dedicated to the theme of Creative Research in Art-Science-Technology. I am a member of MATLIT LAB: Humanities Laboratory [https://matlitlab.uc.pt/] and a collaborator of Centre for Portuguese Literature (CLP, Univ. Coimbra) and the Institute for the Study of Literature and Tradition (IELT-NOVA FCSH). I hold a Ph.D. in Materialities of Literature (2018, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra) with a thesis focusing on haptic interfaces and touch screens as expressive elements in digital literature [http://hdl.handle.net/10316/81171]. In 2018, I was offered a research grant (2018-2020) by the University Fernando Pessoa (Porto), to design and implement a postgraduate diploma in Creative Research, specifically concerning the association of Arts, Health Sciences, and Technology. [https://www.ufp.pt/inicio/estudar-e-investigar/pos-graduacoes/investigacao-criativa-artes-saude-e-tecnologia/] Within that framework, I was a finalist to the BfK Ideas Competition (IPMaia), with a project for the creation of a Narrative Medicine Virtual Platform specifically designed to host narratives of pain in cancer disease. Between 2018 and 2020 I also developed several webinars and a seminar on Creative Research and co-organized a book of essays dedicated to creative research in arts, science, and technology [http://hdl.handle.net/10284/8875]. I was a member of several International Conferences Organizing and Scientific Committees and am currently a member of the Editorial Commission for "Cybertextualities", a book series edited by the UFP Press (Porto, Portugal) [http://cibertextualidades.ufp.edu.pt/], and the Journal of Science and Technology in the Arts (JSTA-CITAR, UCP). As a new media artist, curator, and scientific researcher, I develop my artistic practice in tandem with my scientific research activity. Examples of that association can be found in my digital literary works asking for a renewed sense of reading through touch and gesture, developed mainly within the cyberliterature collective wr3ad1ng d1g1t5, of which I am a founding member [wreading-digits.com]. In creating literature through the use of computer technology, I strive to give continuity to research and artistic work to be found in the Portuguese tradition, for instance, the Portuguese Experimental Poetry movement. By following this dialectic tension between tradition and innovation,I believe my work can contribute to a better understanding of (Portuguese) literature and culture. Another relevant aspect of my research-led practice/practice-led research is the design and conceptualization of digital literature exhibitions of national and international scope, specifically by intermingling curatorial and artistic practice. As an example, in 2020, I codesigned the "Art in Quarantine" project, a digital gallery of art by e-mail in times of COVID-19 now hosting more than 900 artworks by 352 authors from 57 different countries [http://wreading-digits.com(art-in-quarantine/]. Both curatorial and creative research activities are complemented by the translating of renowned digital fiction to the Portuguese language, an aspect that calls for attention to major differences in translating digital literature, namely the need to take into account a multisensory approach that best fits digital multimodal environments.
