Introduction

Born and raised in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with a Minor in Computer Science at the University of Michigan (Class of 2027, Honors Program). 

My primary interests lie at the intersection of robotics, signal processing, and biomimetics, where I seek to develop innovative solutions by drawing inspiration from the natural world. I have conducted research in fiber positioning systems for dark energy spectroscopy, biomedical materials for wound treatment, and embedded systems design. Additionally, I have contributed to the University of Michigan Solar Car team, where I worked on battery performance testing through temperature-controlled PID systems.

Beyond academia, I have experience in PCB design, microcontroller programming (Arduino, ESP32/8266, BeagleBone Blue / Black Industrial), and signal processing applications. My work has also extended into scientific writing, where I led a Science & Tech newspaper column, publishing articles on 3D printing, biomimetics, and advanced biotechnology.

I am deeply fascinated by the synergy between nature-inspired engineering and cutting-edge technology, and I am always eager to collaborate on projects that push the boundaries of robotics, materials science, and computational intelligence.
