RONNY F. RIBEIRO JUNIOR received the B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Itajubá (UNIFEI), Itajubá, Brazil, in 2019, the M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the same university in 2022, and the Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from UNIFEI in 2026. He has experience in mechanical engineering, with research interests in damage detection, fault diagnosis, structural health monitoring, and applied artificial intelligence. His research has focused on condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of rotating machinery and electric motors, damage detection and localization in composite structures using convolutional neural networks, multi-objective optimization of isogrid structures, and experimental validation of hydrogen production systems in hybrid microgrids. His work involves the application of Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques to mechanical and structural engineering problems.
