Dr Bruno Souza Carmo obtained a degree in Mechatronics from the University of São Paulo (2002), completed an MSc in Mechanical Engineering at the University of São Paulo (2005), did his PhD in Aeronautics at Imperial College London (2009) and got the habilitation degree in Mechanical Engineering, specialization in Fluid Mechanics, from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Escola Politécnica, University of São Paulo (2020). He joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of São Paulo, São Paulo campus, in July 2010 and has been carrying out research as a member of the Centre For Dynamic and Fluids (NDF) since then. He has also been part of the Research Centre for Gas Innovation (RCGI) since its origination, working as deputy scientific director and coordinating two projects in the Engineering programme, one project in the CO2 abatement programme and one project in the Geophysics programme. He was promoted to Associate Professor in March 2021. His areas of expertise are fluid mechanics and energy, and he is currently working on projects and supervising students in the following research lines: hydrodynamic stability, fluid-structure interaction, CFD-based optimization, high-order finite element methods, renewable energy (wind, tidal and biomass), biological flows, hybrid power systems, fuel cells, gas purification and computational geophysics.
