I'm a researcher in Fluid Mechanics and an assistant professor at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). I hold a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Universidade Estadual Paulista FEIS-Unesp (2009) and a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the same institution (2012). I was able to make a co-tutored Ph.D. project between two Institutions: FEIS/Unesp and INSA-Rennes. From that, I had a Ph.D. degree from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Rennes (France) on Free-Surface Hydraulics (Civil Engineering), and a Ph.D. degree from the Universidade Estadual Paulista FEIS-Unesp in Fluid Mechanics (Mechanical Engineering).
Currently, I teach at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the UFRGS Engineering College and accept candidates for the Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering (PROMEC) of the same institution. In 2021, I was one of the idealizers of the creation of ReoSul - Rheology and Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow Laboratory.
I develop research on theoretical, numerical, and experimental approaches in multiphase flows of different natures, mainly those related to geophysical flows. Among the core research topics of interest are hydrodynamic instabilities in shear flows and the role of rheology and porous boundaries in their evolution, the transport of sediments by pulsating flows, and the development of photometric measurement systems.
