Degree in Physiotherapy from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), completed in 2011. Master's degree (2014) and a doctorate (2018) from the Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Program in Health Sciences at UNIFESP, where he has developed research at the interface of health sciences, focusing on musculoskeletal rehabilitation, biomarkers, physical function and pain. He also has a specialization in Exercise Physiology Applied to the Clinic from UNIFESP (2018) and an MBA in Educational Planning and Management from the University of São Francisco (USF), completed in 2021.He is currently a professor in the Physiotherapy course at the University of São Francisco, where he teaches the subjects of Orthopedics, Traumatology, Rheumatology, Kinesiology and Kinesiotherapy, in addition to supervising internships in the areas of Orthopedics, Traumatology and Rheumatology. Coordinates the Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Research Group (GPREM), registered in the CNPq Research Groups Directory, developing academic and scientific activities aimed at producing qualified knowledge in the area of #8203;#8203;musculoskeletal physiotherapy. He is also a member of the Institutional Committee for Scientific Initiation, Technological Initiation and Extension of the University of São Francisco, actively contributing to the training of new researchers and to the strengthening of the institutional scientific culture.Develops research activities in the lines entitled Biopsychosocial approaches in musculoskeletal disorders and Studies on the clinical effects and parameters of electrophysical agents in healthy individuals and with musculoskeletal disorders, with an emphasis on the analysis of therapeutic effects, physiological and functional responses, as well as the application of care models based on the integration of the biological, psychological and social domains. His research includes interventions based on therapeutic exercise, pain education, assistive technologies and electrophysical resources, with a focus on health promotion, pain management and optimization of physical function. He is a member of the Special Committee on Electrophysical Agents of the Brazilian Association of Traumato-Orthopedic Physiotherapy (ABRAFITO), collaborating in the formulation of guidelines, scientific updates in the area and strengthening evidence-based practice in the field of musculoskeletal physiotherapy. He also acts as an ad hoc reviewer for scientific journals in the health area and as a member of examination boards for academic papers. His scientific production has been distributed in articles published in national and international journals, book chapters, complete papers in annals of scientific events, in addition to working in the organization of academic and scientific events. He also develops activities to supervise final course work, scientific initiation and extension, with a focus on the critical and reflective training of future professionals and researchers. His current interests are focused on strengthening interdisciplinary research networks that integrate the fields of physiotherapy, engineering, psychology and health sciences, with a view to developing studies that explore technological, methodological and therapeutic innovations applied to musculoskeletal rehabilitation. He also seeks to expand his work in projects with external funding, as well as contribute to the strengthening of strictu sensu postgraduate programs in the interdisciplinary area.
