Prof. Dr. Wilton Pereira da Silva holds a degree in electrical engineering from the Federal University of Goiás (1977) and a master's degree from the Federal University of Paraíba (1983). He holds a PhD in process engineering from the Federal University of Campina Grande (2007). He has been a professor at the Federal University of Campina Grande (former Federal University of Paraíba) since 1979 and is currently a full professor of the Academic Unit of Physics and PQ 1A (CNPq) by the CA of Agricultural Engineering. He was the assistant dean for interior affairs (PRAI, 1997-1998) and the deputy coordinator of the graduate program in process engineering (2010-2012). He is a reviewer of several international journals, including the Journal of Food Engineering, Heat and Mass Transfer, Drying Technology, and Food and Bioprocess Technology. He works in the experimental area with emphasis on metrology, general laboratory techniques, and instrumentation systems, working mainly on the following topics: curve fitting, error propagation, and experimental development. In the engineering field, he has experience in computational transport phenomena with emphasis on drying, absorption, cooling, solids freezing, pasteurization, and even osmotic dehydration. He is a PhD advisor qualified by CNPq and was/is part of the graduate programs in process engineering (until the end of 2017) and Agricultural Engineering (until the present date), both at the UFCG, as a permanent professor.
