Assistant professor at the Federal University of ABC - UFABC. Previously, was a research fellow at Monash University and IFM - Deakin University. I Hold a PhD and MSc in Materials Science and Engineering from Federal University of Sao Carlos - UFSCar and a BSc in Physics also from UFSCar. My main research interests include improving the properties of metallic materials by new nanostructuring techniques based on severe plastic deformation and enhancement of pure metals to alloys to new hybrid materials, such as metals and plastics.
