PhD degree at the University of Bath, Bath, UK (2019). BEng (2012) and MSc (2015) in Mechanical Engineering at São Paulo State University ‘Júlio de Mesquita Filho’ (UNESP) - Bauru Campus, Engineering College of Bauru. During my undergraduate degree (2008-2012), I developed student research projects for three years, all of them supported by a CNPq/PIBIC scholarship. During this period, I carried out research using finite element modelling and applying it to study the biomechanical behaviour of dental prostheses. I was awarded the best paper prize at the Student Scientific Conference, Local stage (Bauru) in 2010, 2011 and 2012. During my Masters’ degree, I studied the fatigue problem on dental prostheses using the Finite Element Method. My work at the University of Bath was focused on studying the biomechanical behaviour of cervical spine under impact loading using Finite Element and experimental methods. Alongside my PhD, I have carried out on materials testing of composites for external companies and other orthopaedic biomechanics projects. I was awarded a BORS Travelling Fellowship 2019-2020 late on my PhD degree. I have a wide range of research interests including: Finite Element Method, dental prosthesis, spine biomechanics, orthopaedics, sports injury, numerical modelling and material fatigue.
