Personal profile
Research profile
I am interested in the assessment, diagnosis and management of chronic pain.
In particular, I focus on the mechanisms of action and potential use of different neuromodulation approaches to relieve neurological symptoms such as pain. Areas of interest, neuropathic pain, musculoskeletal pain, Parkinson disease, pain after stroke, fibromyalgia.
Teaching profile
Didactic phylosophy
I believe learning is a personal experience that is boosted by interaction with peers and mentors. I believe each individual must explore their preferred learning methods for each subject and employ them to find the perfect balance between theoretical and practical knowledge.
Teaching is a mean to learn. Learning is a mean to understand and to create. I believe a mentor´s role is to facilitate every student quest for their personal delineation of what they need to lean, and how. More important than “know-how” is “know-what” (... to do with your knowledge) and “know-why”. Understanding each problem, its shape, size, and colors is the foundation to discover what knowledge are needed to solve it.
To achieve this, I work routinely with definition of explicit learning goals, alignment of mutual expectations and transparence.
