I am a professor and researcher at UNEMAT working at the intersection of scientific computing, software engineering, and applied artificial intelligence. My work focuses on turning mathematical models, scientific questions, and real-world problems into traceable, testable, and reproducible computational systems.
My academic background includes an M.Sc. in Science from Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA) and a Licentiate degree in Computing from UNEMAT. My current activities combine teaching, academic leadership, research, extension, and applied software development.
A simple workflow summarizes much of what I aim to build:
scientific research → model → implementation → validation → reproducible software
- Computational electromagnetics — waveguides, cavities, eigenvalue problems, and electromagnetic propagation.
- Numerical methods — FEM, Whitney/Nédélec edge-element formulations, EFG/EFGMI, and engineering simulation.
- Scientific & high-performance computing — C/C++, Python, parallel computing, benchmarking, and numerical reproducibility.
- Artificial intelligence & computer vision — image acquisition and analysis, applied AI, automation, and research support systems.
- Embedded systems & IoT — ESP32, Raspberry Pi, sensors, and experimental prototypes.
- Applied software — digital health, biodiversity, education, automation, and research-oriented systems.
| Project | Area | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| NASA TP-3485 — FEM Eigenvalue EM | FEM · Electromagnetics | Numerical reproduction of all 14 cases from NASA TP-3485, including 2D/3D scalar, vector, and mixed formulations with FEM and EFGMI backends. |
| Marcatili 1969 — Rectangular Waveguide | Photonics · C++17 | Reproducible implementation of Marcatili's classic paper, with figures, table, tests, equation-to-code traceability, and a Zenodo DOI. |
| MyHoneyBee | IoT · Biodiversity | ESP32-based experimental platform for monitoring environmental variables in native-bee hives. |
| Koshiba 1992 — Edge FEM Waveguides | FEM · Waveguides | Study and implementation of edge-element formulations applied to electromagnetic waveguides. |
| Matrix Multiplication Benchmark | HPC · Benchmarking | Performance experiments focused on matrix multiplication and high-performance computing. |
| Raspberry Pi 5 Battery Bench | Systems · Benchmarking | Reproducible test bench for evaluating Raspberry Pi 5 battery life under different computational workloads. |
I am particularly interested in converting classical scientific papers and mathematical formulations into modern implementations that can be studied, audited, validated, and reproduced.
