I graduated in Mechanical Engineering from State University of Campinas (1994) having participated in the Exchange Program for Engineering Students at Institut National Des Sciences Appliquees de Lyon - France (1992-1993). I graduated with my Master and PhD. in Mechanical Engineering from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, State University of Campinas (1998 and 2002, respectively) in the following areas: High Order Spectral/hp Finite Element formulations for 3D unstructured meshes applied to non-linear Elasticity, Algebraic Multigrid schemes and scientific software coding in C++ language. I also concluded two post-doctorates in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) area, one at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, State University of Campinas (2004), and the other at the Brazilian Aerospace Institute, Department of Aerospace Science and Technology - DCTA (2006). Along the last 15 years, I have accumulated industrial and R, D & I experience in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) particularly in CFD branch. My areas of interest are: High-order Discontinuous Galerkin Method (DGM), Spectral Element Method (SEM), Finite Element Method (FEM), Finite Volume Method (FVM), compressible inviscid and viscous flows at high Mach and high Reynolds numbers, implicit Large Eddy Simulation (iLES), turbulence modeling, incompressible flows applied to water problems, Shallow Water Equations, High Performance Computing (HPC) for engineering simulation and Phyton scientific programming. Since May 2013, I am a research staff member at the IBM Research Brazil Lab working within the Natural Resources group. Currently, I am one of the members of the IBM’s runoff-routing team that participates in The Jefferson Project at Lake George — a collaboration between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, IBM Research, and The FUND for Lake George — which is an ambitious research project dedicated to using technology and environmental science to preserve and protect one of America's most famous lakes. Moreover, I am also a visiting professor at the post graduation program of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of State University of Campinas, Brazil, where I use to give lectures on the practical and implementational aspects of the Discontinuous Galerkin Method.
