I have a bachelor's degree in Physics, a master's degree in Nuclear Technology - Materials from the Institute of Energy and Nuclear Research IPEN/CNEN - USP, and a PhD in Materials Engineering from the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the University of São Paulo (USP) with an internship at the Berkeley Lab, CA, USA. I have experience working with microstructural and mechanical characterization of copper metal matrix composites and ultra-high strength maraging steels. I am currently working with these materials processed using Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF).
