Verified

With over 30 years of experience in teaching mechanical engineering, at UFSC-Brazil, I have built a career that bridges academia, research, and international collaboration. My journey includes academic exchanges in Japan, England, and a postdoctoral fellowship at NASA, where I focused on artificial intelligence. I’ve had the privilege of co-authoring four publications with NASA researchers. In terms of management skills, I served as the course coordinator for both undergraduate and graduate levels in Mechanical Engineering at UFSC for four years in each role. Additionally, I worked as the Director of UFSC's Internship Department and was a member of the Chamber of Graduation, the Post-Graduate Chamber, and the University Council. Currently, I ´ve served as Board member of the School of Nations, an international organization based in Brasilia. As a professor and project leader, I’ve advised more than 50 academic works and published extensively in the fields of engineering and applied ArtificiaI Intelligence. Beyond academia, I also work as a career coach and mentor, helping professionals and students design meaningful and ambitious paths. Here, I’m looking for part-time opportunities as a consultant or mentor in education and technology, especially where innovation, purpose, and human development meet.More...
