Edoardo is a psychiatrist and current fellow in Neuromodulation/Interventional Psychiatry at the University of Minnesota. He received his medical degree from the University of São Paulo (USP), the top-ranked medical school in Latin America, and also completed his first psychiatry residency at USP. Seeking further training in the United States, he pursued a second psychiatry residency at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY, and am now board-eligible in the U.S. In addition, he earned a Ph.D. in Psychiatry at USP, where his research focused on frontostriatal circuit dysfunctions in obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) using functional connectivity and normative modeling approaches.
His academic work integrates neuroimaging and neuropsychological testing to study the neurocircuitry of compulsivity. He has presented his research at leading scientific conferences, including SOBP and IOCDF, and has authored original articles, reviews, and book chapters on OCD, neuromodulation, and bioethics.
Currently, his fellowship training and research emphasize advanced neuromodulation approaches, particularly deep brain stimulation, with the goal of developing circuit-based interventions for treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders.
