My research on vibro-impact mechanics combines theory and experiments, providing a critical viewof the most common formulations for impact modeling. Impacts are very common in engineering practice, being convenient in some applications (like drilling and hammering) and avoided in others (rotor-stator rubbing). Other engineering applications include gear rattling, ship rolling against icebergs, loose joints, impact dampers etc. Thus a deeper understanding of this phenomenon is a very active… Show more My research on vibro-impact mechanics combines theory and experiments, providing a critical viewof the most common formulations for impact modeling. Impacts are very common in engineering practice, being convenient in some applications (like drilling and hammering) and avoided in others (rotor-stator rubbing). Other engineering applications include gear rattling, ship rolling against icebergs, loose joints, impact dampers etc. Thus a deeper understanding of this phenomenon is a very active and promising topic in mechanics and applied mathematics, with the potential to attract interest from industry and funding organizations.In my work, I am performing a thoughtful investigation of the most common modeling and analysistechniques for vibro-impact systems, comparing them between each other and with experimental observations. The results of this investigation can be applied to other vibro-impact systems, providing engineers and researchers with valuable information regarding applicability, reliability, and ease of use of different models.

I could also put into practice my own ideas about how to give a motivating and inspiring lecture. Those were also times of improvement for me. Besides reinforcing my knowledge on the subjects I taught, I could practice skills such as perceptiveness, time-management, listening, teamwork (with other lecturers), motivation, and public speaking. Besides being a circumspect person, I managed to lecture for almost a hundred students at a time. Show less

In Driver’s Licence Sector I worked directly with clients, helping them to solve their bureaucratic problems. In addition I wrote many memos and reports.
