I am a Portuguese writer and researcher based in Bergen, Norway. I am currently an Associate Professor in Digital Culture at the University of Bergen (UiB). Previously, I was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow at UiB, a visiting researcher in Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a postdoctoral fellow in Materialities of Literature at the University of Coimbra, where I investigated the poetics and politics of erasure within the EU-funded project “ARTDEL: The Art of Deleting.” I hold a PhD in Digital Culture from UiB, with the thesis “setInterval(): Time-Based Readings of Kinetic Poetry” (2017). My publications include the poetry books Supressão (2019), upoesia (2019), Previsão para 365 poemas (2018), Ensinando o espaço (2017), Ö (2014) and Permafrost (2012), and the scholarly book Transdução (2017). My current research interests lie at the intersection of 20th-century Portuguese book censorship, poetry, and digital humanities.
