Biography

I am a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at IN+ Center for Innovation, Technology and Policy Research. I have a bachelor's and master's degree in Aerospace Engineering both from Instituto Superior Técnico. My research interests are in the field of experimental fluid mechanics, especially, non-intrusive flow diagnosis methods such as particle image and particle tracking velocimetry (PIV/PTV) applied to microfluidics and biological flows. In 2019, I joined the research team of the Institute of Fluid Mechanics (ISTM) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The project aimed at using PIV to characterize characterizing the body-force field of plasma actuator under external flow. This project explored the underlying challenges of recording high-quality particle images with PIV measurements in complex systems. Furthermore, the work was presented at two international conferences FLUCOME 19 and DFD19 meeting of the American Physical Society. In January 2020, I joined IN+ research team to work with micro-PTV at the laboratory for micro-scale transport phenomena. This collaboration lead me to my current position as a PhD candidate with focus in diagnosis methods for 3D flow characterization in microfluidics. Since September 2020, I am in collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) to develop novel algorithms for 3D flow diagnosis methods and involved in a national project to develop micro-cooling systems.
