My organisation

FH Kärnten, officially known as the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS), is a university of applied sciences located in Carinthia, Austria. Established in 1995, it offers a wide range of Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in fields like technology, business, health, and social affairs. The Institute for Applied Research on Ageing (IARA) investigates the challenges and potentials of an ageing society. It is the first competence centre at Carinthia University of Applied Sciences to specialise in applied research. Our aim is to develop innovative interdisciplinary approaches and solutions that can improve the social, health and economic situation of older people through practical research in exemplary projects. The results are made available to politics, business and civil society and are also incorporated into the practice-oriented everyday teaching at Carinthia University of Applied Sciences.

About me

I’m a Medical Physicist from UNESP with a strong interest in research, technology, and entrepreneurship. During my studies, I joined the Junior Company, gaining valuable experience in teamwork and project management. I completed research in linear optimization for medical applications and in diagnostic imaging, where I published a scientific paper.

Currently, I’m pursuing a Master’s in Medical Engineering and Analytics at Carinthia University of Applied Sciences in Austria and working as a Scientific Project Assistant at IARA – Institute of Applied Research on Ageing. I enjoy working with diverse teams, solving challenges, and I'm preparing to start a PhD soon.
