The 3rd Congress of the Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering (PPGEM) at Escola Politécnica da USP. Co-organized by Prof. Luís Sá. A platform for M.Sc. and Ph.D. students to present their research to peers, faculty, and the broader community.
Presentation: “PEM Fuel Cell Topology Optimization with a Pseudo 3D Model” (LFN de Sá, F Razmara, JR Meneghini, ECN Silva).
The 7th edition of the RCGI flagship conference, themed “Climate Action through Advanced Technologies for a Sustainable Future”. The event brought together researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers to discuss innovative solutions for sustainable energy transition. Prof. Luís Sá chaired the GHG thematic track oral sessions.
Thematic tracks: Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), Carbon Capture Utilization & Storage (CCUS), Bioenergy with CCS (BECCUS), Greenhouse Gas Technologies (GHG), Advocacy, Electrification (InnovaPower), Decarbonization, and ESG.
The 2nd Congress of the Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering at Poli-USP. An enriching academic environment fostering knowledge exchange, innovation, and professional development. Graduate students presented their research to peers, faculty, and the broader community, including participants from other institutions.
The 6th edition of the RCGI conference on energy transition research. Three days of keynotes, panels, and short oral sessions covering topics from Brazil’s role in the global energy transition to pathways for achieving net zero. Prof. Luís Sá co-chaired the GHG thematic track with Prof. Emilio Silva.
Highlights included keynotes by Prof. Nigel Brandon (Imperial College London) on electrochemical technology for low-carbon transition, Ambassador André Correa do Lago on Brazilian NDCs, and Prof. Carlos Nobre on fighting Amazon deforestation.
Presentation: “Topology Optimization Method Applied to Rotor Design under Turbulent Flows” (LFN Sá, ECN Silva).
Presentation: “Design of Laminar Flow Machine Rotor By Using Topology Optimization Method” (LFN Sá, JSR Saenz, ECN Silva).
Presentation: “Design, Optimization, Manufacturing, and Characterization of a Ventricle Assist Pump” (LFN Sá, JSR Saenz, O Horikawa, ECN Silva).
