Teaching: As an instructor in the field of computational mechanics, being a good teacher is of fundamental importance. My teaching philosophy can be summarized in the following; a) Teach quality over quantity,b) Bring an added dimension to lectures, c) Emphasis on practical engineering problems, d) Good teaching for all.
Research: My research is motivated by the challenge of modeling, rigorously analyzing and implementing methods for the numerical simulation of diverse and highly complex physical phenomenon. During my doctoral studies I have focused on advanced finite element techniques, such as : Meshless methods, for the simulation of metal forming operations (including visco-plasticity, thermal softening, fracture and crack propagation, etc). Presently, my primary focus has been in the developing of isogeometric approaches and model order reduction methods in both computational solid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics. In addition, I have also been working in the area of modeling nano-composites.

Wed, 11 Oct 2017 16:44:19 +0200

Throughout my academic and professional career I have contributed on several levels to the development of Engineering both nationally and internationally. I am confident that my work has allowed applied sciences and new method implementation for enginnering to converge.

I have work on showing how numerical methods for modelling and solving real engineering problems is something of great value, from the study of wetlands of international interest to brain models for computer assisted brain surgery.

The biggest academic achievement so far has been to stablish a new technology on a world level to solve the electroencephalography inverse problem, which is to say, the detection of potential generating sources in electroencephalography signals. This was the study I performed during my doctorate program, where I stablished said methodology using a meshless finite element approach, merging anatomical information and temporal lobe epilepsy patient functional information.

My work as a professor and researcher has always been linked to life condition improvement for the people, to the development and growth of our country and the latin american region.

Therefore, I am convinced that scientific research must be rigorous and applied at the same time. Research constitutes a catalyst element of wellbeing and development. As such, the advancement in innovative proposals, in concepts, in appropriate technologies, requires knowledge, commitment and, overall, responsibility inside academic work.

Likewise, I consider that teaching must be always getting feedback from national and international research.

Engineering, in any area, is a living and dynamic concept, grounded both in technique and science, but that must have its output in a practical application always looking to transform the observed reality.

I am right between Engineering and Software development.
Working at CIMNE since 2004, I have been involved and led research projects in a wide range of fields: harbours & waves, oil & gas drilling, aerodynamics, landslides, agriculture,... I developed a software for free surface flows (www.cimne.com/pfem/) and after that, one for particles (http://www.cimne.com/dem/), but I also found myself developing parts of standard CFD and structural (CSM) codes.
In these years I have become an experienced programmer mainly in Object Oriented languages (C++, Python) and also Matlab. Subversion or Git (preferably the second) are a must for the best team work.
As an Engineer, the goal of each project is my main concern, and software is just a handy tool.
The lectures on Theory of Finite Elements and structures given at the University since 2010 were a good complement to my practical work at CIMNE.

I hold a bachelor's degree and a Master´s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Uberlândia/UFU (1983 and 1988). I hold also a Master's Degree in Applied Mathematics (1993) and PhD in Engineering (1995) from Brown University. In 2002-2003, I went to Barcelona/Spain for Post-Doctoral stay at CIMNE / Quantech. I was a professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering/UFU from July 1987 to March 2017. I am currently a Volunteer Professor at the Federal University of Uberlândia/UFU. I have experience in Mechanical Engineering, with emphasis on Mechanics of Solid, Elastic and Plastic Bodies, working mainly on the following topics: Simulation of forming processes and contact mechanics, finite elements simulations, stress and strain analysis and biomechanics. I am a member of the CIMNE Classroom Network (Agreement with the International Center for Numerical Methods in Enginery / UPC / Spain) since 2004, and I am the Coordinator of the FEMEC-CIMNE Classroom that houses the activities of this agreement. From June of 2006 to December of 2008 I acted as Director of Intellectual Property and Innovation of UFU. I participated as professor of the Graduation Program in Mechanical Engineering/FEMEC/UFU since 1996.
