PhD Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the USP Polytechnic School since 2019. He holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the USP Polytechnic School (2008), a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the same institution (2011), and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Technische Universität Darmstadt (2017), where he graduated with distinction (“mit Auszeichnung bestanden”). He is currently a member of the scientific committee of the National Combustion Network (RNC), the Brazilian section of “The Combustion Institute.” Since 2009, he has been conducting research at the Thermal and Environmental Engineering Laboratory (LETE), the Research Centre for Innovation in Gas (RCGI) since 2018, and the Technological Characterization Laboratory (LCT) since 2023.
He specializes in Engineering Mechanics, with a focus on Fluid Mechanics and Energy. His current research projects and student supervision cover the following areas: spray combustion, laminar and turbulent combustion, spray and droplet dispersion, heat and mass transfer (with a focus on evaporation) in single- and multi-component droplets, flame-turbulence-droplet interaction, the Flamelet Generated Manifold (FGM) reaction reduction method, the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach for turbulence modeling, and combustion processes related to carbon capture and storage (CCS), including oxy-combustion and Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC).
