Biography
Prof Bruno Souza Carmo obtained a degree in Mechatronics from the University of São Paulo (2002), completed an MSc in Mechanical Engineering at the University of São Paulo (2005), did his PhD in Aeronautics at Imperial College London (2009) and got the habilitation degree in Mechanical Engineering, specialization in Fluid Mechanics, from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Escola Politécnica, University of São Paulo (2020). He joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Escola Politécnica, University of São Paulo, in July 2010 and has been carrying out research as a member of the Centre For Dynamic and Fluids (NDF) since then. He has also been part of the Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation (RCGI) since its origination, working as deputy scientific director from 2015 and 2023 and as the director of the Descarbonization programme since 2024.
In the RCGI, he coordinated two projects in the Engineering programme, one project in the CO2 abatement programme, one project in the Geophysics programme and one ongoing project in the InnovaPower programme. He was promoted to Associate Professor in March 2021 and to Full Professor in July 2023. He spent six months as a visiting researcher at the National Wind Technology Center of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NWTC-NREL) of the USA, from August 2023 to January 2024. His areas of expertise are fluid mechanics and energy, and he is currently working on projects and supervising students in the following research lines: hydrodynamic stability, fluid-structure interaction, CFD-based optimization, high-order finite element methods, renewable energy (wind, tidal and biomass), biological flows, hybrid power systems, fuel cells, gas purification and computational geophysics.
