Degree in Biological Sciences from Unicamp. Conducted a undergraduate reasearch and internship in the Animal Behavior area, in the years 2018 and 2019, at the São Paulo Aquarium, with mammals and fish. Was an intern at the Laboratory of Ethology, Social Interactions and Development (LEDIS) assisting in research on the temperament of Sapajus libidinosus infants from 2020-2021. Master in Experimental Psychology at USP. Researched the function of the touching of faces by capuchin monkey infants. Was an intern at University of Portsmouth studying the facial touch on humans and chimpanzés from January to July of 2023. Currently a Phd student researching the non-vocal comunication of capuchin monkeys at USP. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

In the last three decades, gestures have been the focus of research on non-vocal communication in primates. The growing interest in this topic is due to its potential association with the evolution of human language. Over the years, more than 80 gestures performed by chimpanzees have been cataloged, but this type of signaling has not been extensively investigated in other taxa. In this re…
Touch has a great impact on the healthy development of infants, especially when they are held and caressed. The slow and rhythmic touch has a relaxing effect on animals. The importance of motor control for the manipulation of objects in humans and capuchin monkeys is also known. But there is not much literature about the influence of touch made by infants on their social environment and d…
growing body of literature recognizes the importance of gestures in the evolution of language. Studies have largely focused on gestures performed by apes and shown that the repertoire is vast - upwards of 60 signal types - with a significant overlap among ape species. Although some research has been carried out on monkey species in Africa and Asia, there have been no systematic empirical …
Touch has a great impact on the healthy development of infants, especially when they are held and caressed. But there is not much literature about the influence of touch made by infants, nor on developmental changes in touch. Recent work has shown that by having the opportunity to investigate objects manually, capuchin monkeys learned more quickly to differentiate these objects visually. …
