| Introduction | - I studied at Universidade Federal of Rio Grande, where I turned Mechanical Engineer. During the university, I have learned little CAD and CFD design and participating also into the SAE Aerodesign Brasil competition four times. - After undergraduation, I have participated at Engineering Specialization Program at EMBRAER. At this program, I had Aeronautical Engineering classes, designing a Conceptual and Preliminar project of a Business Jet. - Then, I started my carreer at Embraer working as an Aircraft Performance Engineer at Embraer KC-390 Aircraft. This was a dream come true to work into Aeronautical Industry in such great company! - I have interest in automotive engineering also, being judge of Formula SAE Brasil and Baja SAE Brasil competitions in Aerodynamics and Structures, having online courses about Aerodynamics and Vehicle Dynamics and reading books about Racing Car Design, having plans to design a Race Car by my own in the future as a hobby. - Nowadays, I am a Ph. D researcher at System Identification, with focus at identification of aerodynamic coefficients and anemometric calibration of aircrafts and part of technical committee of SAE Aerodesign Brasil Competition. |
