short biography
I was born in Niterói, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I have a dual degree in Nanotechnology and in Materials Science and Engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and a master's degree in Materials and Chemical Processes Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. Throughout my academic journey, I've worked in many applied R&D projects towards companies and organizations such as FMC Technologies, Honeywell, UNESCO, and the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI). I've also worked and lead a R&D startup for 5 years, where I served as Chief Executive Officer, Authorized Signatory (CGCRE ISO/IEC 17025), and Sub-Coordinator at the Brazilian National System of Nanotechnology Laboratories (SisNANO). I'm passionate by thermodynamics and the application of computational methods to assist materials design. I have experience working with CALPHAD and DFT methods, and most of my work experience is in the energy sector, where I've developed studies in green fuels conversion, batteries and H2 storage. Currently, I'm investigating the implementation of AI methods for materials properties prediction in the framework of computational thermodynamics.
