Full Professor in the Department of Renewable Energy Engineering (DEER) at the Center for Alternative and Renewable Energy (CEAR) at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). He holds a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Paraíba (1992), a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ-1995), and a doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Paraíba (2000). He completed his postdoctoral studies at LabMEMS/PEM/COPPE/UFRJ (2021/2022), working on the project Methods of Desalination by Distillation via Hydrophobic Membranes, using waste heat from high concentration photovoltaic panels (HCPV). He worked for almost 12 years in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte UFRN). He has experience in the field of Mechanical Engineering, with an emphasis on Computational Fluid Dynamics. His main line of work focuses on Computational Simulation of Fluid/Structure Interaction in Progressive Cavity Pumps, Hybrid Computational Simulation of Flows Subjected to Magnetic Fields, Analysis of Turbulent Flows via Integral Transformation and Differential Turbulence Models, and the study of Desalination Methods by Distillation in Membranes.
