Turning complex system behavior into actionable engineering decisions

About

I am a Senior Analysis Engineer focused on drivetrain and energy systems.

I build physics-based models and simulation workflows that help teams evaluate performance, risk, and trade-offs before hardware decisions are locked in. My work is centered on turning complex technical behavior into clear, decision-oriented engineering insight.

Across wind and heavy-duty vehicle applications, I have developed and applied models for hybrid and conventional powertrains, gearbox dynamics, and system-level energy performance. I use these models to compare design options, test control strategies, and support cost and feasibility decisions.

My approach combines first-principles engineering, numerical simulation, and practical analysis to deliver results that are technically rigorous and useful in product development.

Background

I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from DTU (Technical University of Denmark), with prior MSc and BSc degrees from UFRN (Brazil).

I started in nonlinear mechanics, where I combined experiments, analytical methods, and numerical simulation to evaluate model reliability in vibro-impact systems. This foundation in model validation and uncertainty translated directly into applied industrial work.

Since then, I have worked on offshore wind and hybrid truck powertrain challenges, including drivetrain dynamics, fatigue-related analysis, reduced-order modeling, and techno-economic studies. Over time, my role evolved from research-heavy work to engineering analysis that directly supports product and technology decisions.
