I am a Full Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Federal University of Catalão in Brazil, where I collaborate with students and partners to solve practical flow, erosion, and heat-transfer problems through advanced CFD and experimentation. My background includes a Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the Federal University of Uberlândia, and my work has appeared in journals such as Wear, International Journal of Multiphase Flow, Mechanics Research Communications, International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer, and Journal of Materials Research & Technology. I have been recognized with an Honorable Mention in the CAPES Thesis Award (Engineering III) and distinctions from ABCM in partnership with Embraer, and I actively serve as a peer reviewer. Recently, I’ve broadened my research into additive manufacturing—linking microstructure to mechanical performance—while continuing to design strategies that mitigate erosion and improve reliability in industrial systems.
