I am a hands-on engineer passionate about both analog and digital technology. My focus lies at the intersection of computational science and building physics.
I recently completed my M.Sc. in Construction Innovation at Universidade de São Paulo, and in September I will begin my Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh as a Doctoral Candidate in the GENIUS Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network, researching the thermo-hydraulic performance of energy geostructures for waste heat storage.
Previously, I consulted on infrastructure digitalization at DB Engineering & Consulting and managed complex infrastructure projects for THEMAG Engenharia. Here's my CV.
I like to express myself through technical-creative endeavors such as exploring analog photography, tinkering with modular synthesizers or 3D printers, cooking, and studying chess.
Experience
Doctoral Candidate
2026 — PresentUniversity of Edinburgh
As DC14 in the GENIUS Doctoral Network, I will develop a numerical tool to model the thermo-hydraulic performance of Energy Geostructures coupled to small grids for industrial waste heat storage, supported by a waste-heat supply and building demand database, with secondments at the British Geological Survey and the University of Derby.
