Susana Mouga was born in January 1984 in Lisbon. Susana received her MSc degree in Psychology from the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Coimbra, Portugal, in 2007. For her master degree, she did a clinical and research internship in which she investigated the intellectual profile of children with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at the Centro de Desenvolvimento da Criança, Hospital Pediátrico (HP), Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra (CHUC). She completed his PhD in Health Sciences - Biomedical Sciences in 2021, in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra (FMUC) while holder of a PhD grant from the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, FCT (SFRH/BD/102779/2014). During her PhD she was particularly interested in the clinical characterization of children and adolescents with ASD and other neurodevelopmental disorders and the application technologies as eye-tracking, virtual reality and neuroimaging techniques (brain functional magnetic resonance imaging - fMRI), and ecological tasks in the study of executive functions and social cognition in ASD. During the past sixteen years, she has been collaborating in National and European research projects in the area of neurodevelopmental disorders, namely, autism spectrum disorder, always combining basic research and clinical work. She is currently a Researcher at Instituto de Ciências Nucleares Aplicadas à Saúde (ICNAS), University of Coimbra UC, working in the Aims-2-Trials project and continuing to collaborate with the HP-CHUC, where she develops clinical assessment and research at CDC. Susana is also an integrated member of the Coimbra Institute for Biomedical Imaging and Translational Research (CIBIT), doing research in both basic and translational neuroscience in Autism Spectrum Disorder. Her achievements are reflected in 26 original peer-reviewed papers published in high-quality international journals, 7 as first author, 1 conference paper, 29 conference proceedings, with a total of 2297 citations, with a continuous increase of citations every year and an H-index of 16, as assessed by GoogleScholar. She had also the opportunity to disseminate her research findings as author and co-author of 28 scientific posters and 26 oral communications at national and renowned international conferences, for instance International Society for Autism Research (INSAR), European Academy of Childhood Disability (EACD) and Society for Neuroscience meetings. She has been requested to collaborate in review processes as invited reviewer for 7 different multidisciplinary journals, such as the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, Scientific Reports, and Frontiers in Psychiatry. Importantly, she has been involved in the organization of science outreach activities, such as giving talks at public engagement actions at schools and patients associations, Brain Awareness Week and organization of courses. She has received 7 awards and/or honors, including the 1st Prize for Oral Communication in the VII Seminar of Neurodevelopmental Paediatrics - Neurodevelopmental Paediatrics Society - Portuguese Paediatrics Society, Portugal. Susana has been invited to assist courses and seminars for undergraduate students (for example, in the Msc in Molecular and Translational Neuroscience, FMUC). She have also been invited to lecture in the Msc in Molecular and Translational Neuroscience, FMUC, supervised 2 Professional one year Internships for membership of the Order of Portuguese Psychologists and she is supervising 2 MSc thesis and 3 Curricular Internship of Msc in Clinical Neuropsychology. She tutored several rotations from the International Research Exchange Project. Her research interests are Neuropsychology, Clinical and cognitive neuroscience, Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Child Development and Mental Health, Neuroimaging.
