Hi, I am Rodrigo. I have obtained a degree in clinical psychology (“Title of Psychologist”) with a minor in statistics and data science by the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Brazil, where I received funding to work in research from the Minas Gerais Research Funding Foundation and the Ministry of Education. I have obtained a Master’s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience of Language by the University of the Basque Country with research accomplished at the Basque Centre for Cognition, Brain, and Language (BCBL), where I defended the thesis “White-matter connections between the ventral occipito-temporal cortex and the inferior frontal gyrus: A diffusion-weighted MRI study”, with funding from the University of the Basque Country. I am a PhD research student at Ulster University (Northern Ireland), where I submitted my doctoral thesis and the viva voce is scheduled to take place on the 11th of December 2024 at 10:30 on the Coleraine Campus. I have received the Vice-Chancellor’s Research Studentship and Department for the Economy grants to work as a PhD researcher at Ulster University. I have taken active and crucial part in the production of 7 peer-reviewed publications. I have reviewed several manuscripts and grant proposals in a total of 41 referee reports across different journals and funders, including the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) of UK Research & Innovation (UKRI). I also develop data-analytic scripts in R and Python, and data-collection tools based on Python. Please find more information on my ORCID, Web of Science, and Scopus webpages and on my website. See also my UU PURE profile describing the datasets I have shared on Open Science repositories and activities organising scientific conferences.
