I completed my PhD at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, investigating the effectiveness of exercise rehabilitation in endomyocardial fibrosis. Following this, I took up a postdoctoral fellowship in the Pulmonary Department at the Federal University of Sao Paulo where I work focused on the use of the cardiorespiratory responses to exercise on risk stratification and prognostication in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow with Dr James Fisher in the Department of Physiology at the University of Auckland where I study the neural control of the circulation in health and hypertension with a focus on the central and peripheral chemoreflexes.
