I hold a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering and an M.Sc. in Computational Modeling from the Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG, Brazil) and a Ph.D. in Ocean Engineering from COPPE/UFRJ. Besides, I conducted postdoctoral research at the Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS), Florida State University. I am currently a professor at FURG, with more than 16 years of academic experience across undergraduate programs (Mechanical Engineering, Business Mechanical Engineering, and Naval Mechanical Engineering) and graduate programs (Ocean Engineering and Computational Modeling). My academic and research experience spans both mechanical engineering and marine engineering, with emphasis on marine energy systems. I work primarily on: • Marine propulsion and power generation systems • Thermal management and thermoeconomic analysis • Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for internal and external flows • Optimization of marine components and energy systems My career integrates research, teaching, supervision, and international collaboration in areas central to the future of maritime decarbonization, sustainability, and advanced propulsion technologies.
