  I managed the manufacturing and testing processes of the car's circuits boards from electrical safety system. It was a project already developed by team but that hadn't been deployed on our prototypes yet. These PCBs accounted for improving the electric security by utilizing new techniques of galvanic insulation between high and low voltage signals and enhancing the control signals management. In addition to this, I've deployed a culture of registering project flaws in order to make easy the transition among chiefs and the training of new members. Show less Campinas State University (UNICAMP) extracurricular company and the best team in the Formula SAE Brasil Tournament focused on the development of high performance electrical formulas, formed by undergraduate students from the university in the area of ​​engineering, physics and mathematics. Team 7 times champion of the general electric category of the Formula SAE Brasil competition, which takes place in the city of Piracicaba-SP and twice international champion of the general electric category of the Formula SAE International competition, held in Lincoln-NE in the United States. I worked directly in the Team Accumulators Division, an area dedicated to the design and manufacture of prototype battery packs with its electrical security system, assembly and cooling. Since 2019, the team is the first in Brazil to design and build the first autonomous electric prototype in the country, with the aim of starting studies in the field of artificial intelligence and autonomous mobility.

  Title: Effects of high wind energy integration on the transmission systems' protection and operationAdvisor: Dra. Maria Cristina Dias TavaresStudy about the high wind energy integration on transmission systems. Focus on the impacts of Type IV inverter based wind generators (full converter) in the power system operation and protection coordination.The short circuit current contribution of inverter based resources is mostly dependent of its converters control algorithm and strategy. This response is different from conventional synchronous machines, dependent only of its physical/electrical characteristics, therefore it is necessary to model the wind generation in a more detailed way (including electronics devices) utilizing Electromagnetic Transient Programs (EMTP), as PSCAD, in order to study its behavior during power systems faults. Show less Title: Analysis of computer tools and methodologies used on lightning overvoltages studiesAdvisors: Dr. Maria Cristina Dias Tavares and Dr. Javier Arturo Santiago OrtegaThe research was focused on transient overvoltages analyses on overhead lines caused by lightning. The first part was aimed at modelling of the components such as grounding systems, towers, transmission lines, insulator strings and surge source, using international and national standards and related scientific papers. Then were built study cases in software for digital simulation of the lightning strike on overhead line, utilizing EMT programs as PSCAD and ATP. Show less
