Welcome

I am a professor and researcher at the Department of Mechatronics and Mechanical Systems Engineering (PMR) of the Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo (Poli-USP), since September 2023.

My research focuses on topology optimization, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and numerical modeling, with applications ranging from biomedical devices to energy systems. I lead the DO&GE Lab — Design Optimization & Generative Engineering Laboratory.
