Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I have always been curious and passionate about Science and Technology.
Since very young, I got involved in research projects. During my undergraduate in Brazil, I had research experiences at IMPA (Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics), at CBPF (Brazilian Center for Research in Physics), and at the University of Campinas. I also participated of a one-year exchange program at ENSIM, Le Mans, in France, an engineering school with strong emphasis on vibration and acoustics. The experience there conducted me to a new direction and objective: to develop materials and structures for vibration and acoustic applications.
I got the Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Campinas, Brazil. For being the best student among mechanical engineering undergraduates in 2010, I was awarded the Merit Diploma by the Institute of Engineering in Brazil. In 2015, I got the Ph.D. degree at the University of Campinas (Brazil) being advised by Prof. José Roberto de F. Arruda and Prof. Jean-Mathieu Mencik. In my thesis, I contributed to the development of a numerical technique for the computation of the dynamic response of structures involving periodic components using a wave-based approach. During my thesis, I did research internships at the University of Auckland, in New Zealand, where I collaborated with Prof. Brian Mace, and at INSA Centre Val de Loire, in France, with Prof. Jean-Mathieu Mencik, my co-advisor. My thesis was awarded the best thesis in 2015 of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Campinas, Brazil.
After my Ph.D., I became Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Federal University of Ceará, in Brazil. Few months later, I got a Post-doctoral position in the Mechanics of Materials group at Eindhoven University of Technology, in the Netherlands. My passion to contribute to the society with the development of new technologies led me to this new challenge and full-time research experience. Funded by the 4TU.High-Tech Materials research program, I am investigating a new generation of metamaterials by exploring the nonlinear dynamics of embedded microstructures. This research is conducted within the Mechanics of Materials group of TU/e with dr. Varvara Kouznetsova and Prof. Marc Geers, and in collaboration with Prof. Michael J. Leamy from Georgia Tech, USA.
