Short Bio:
I am a Mechanical Engineering (1997) from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) and received the Agnelo Macedo (Gold Medal) award for First Classification in the Course. In 2000, I received a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from UFMG, in Heat and Fluids area, with the title: Development of a Numerical Methodology for the Analysis of Solar Chimneys: Study of the Influence of Geometric Parameters. In 2005, I received a doctor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from UFMG, in Heat and Fluids area, with the title Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of a Solar Chimney: Thermofluidodynamic Evaluation. In 2001, I started my teaching career at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas). From 2005 to 2007, I also taught at Fundação Universidade de Itaúna. In 2008, I started teaching in the Post-Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering (PPGEM) of PUC Minas. In 2012, I became a member of the PPGEM Collegiate and, since August 2016, I took over the coordination of the course. I have a CNPq Research Productivity Scholarship, Level 2, since 2016.
