Biography

Currently holding a master's degree and also a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (EMC/UFSC). Is a project fellow at the Laboratory of Vibrations and Acoustics (LVA/EMC/UFSC) in partnership with Dynamox, whose activities are focused on the study of digital twins for applications in the analysis of machine vibrations. This project was preceded by activities also in partnership with Dynamox (during the master's period), the latter related to the modeling and optimization of devices for harvesting energy from vibrations (VEHs). Was a scientific initiation fellow at the LVA in partnership with Embraer (Silence project), in which numerical models for predicting aircraft turbine noise were developed using Matlab software. Completed an internship at ESI Group North America (San Diego, CA), from which implemented numerical algorithms to extract eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the study of periodic structures. Was a monitor in the Vibrations Control discipline - EMC/UFSC for one year. Has experience in Mechanical Engineering, more specifically in the following topics: Energy Harvesting from Vibrations; Computational Simulation Tools; Numerical Optimization Algorithms; Contour Integral Method (CIM) applied to Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problems (NEPs); Rayleigh-Ritz Method applied to NEPs; Sound Radiation from Turbines; Vibroacoustic Systems; Finite Element Method; Vibrations and Acoustics.
