Graduate supervision

I welcome research proposals that engage with media, semiotics, cognition, science and health education, particularly when they address communication, technology, meaning-making, scientific culture or educational practices.

Topics of interest

  • Audiovisual media, images and education;
  • semiotics and scientific culture;
  • neuroeducation and learning processes;
  • simulation and health professions education;
  • science museums, science communication and non-formal education;
  • digital technologies, artificial intelligence and meaning-making;
  • technoscientific imaginaries and the public communication of science.

Before getting in touch

An initial proposal does not need to be fully developed. It should, however, identify a research problem, explain why that problem matters and indicate a first theoretical or empirical approach to the study.

What problem do you want to understand, and why does it require an approach that crosses media, language, cognition or scientific culture?

Graduate programme

My graduate supervision is linked to the Graduate Programme in Science and Health Education (PPGECS) at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), within the research areas and projects in which I work.

Initial contact

When writing, please briefly introduce your academic background, indicate whether you are interested in a master’s or doctoral project, describe the problem you wish to investigate and explain how your proposal relates to the themes above.
