André Telles da Cunha Lima graduated in Physics from the University of São Paulo (1997), obtained a Masters in Physics from the State University of Rio de Janeiro (2000) and PhD in Physics from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (2005). He is currently an associate professor at the Physics Institute of the Federal University of Bahia, working on the undergraduate course in physics and engineering; in the Graduate Program at CIEnAm/UFBA (Interdisciplinary Center for Energy and Environment); and in the Graduate Program in Computational Modeling and Industrial Technology at SENAI/CIMATEC. He has solid experience in academic management of undergraduate courses, where he already works as a coordinator in several computer and engineering courses. As a researcher in physics, geophysics and environment, he works on the following projects: computational fluid dynamics (turbulence and vorticity transport), ocean engineering (structure–fluid interaction), numerical simulations in porous media (water and hydrocarbon reservoirs) and modeling and monitoring of oil spil and contaminants in the ocean.
