Funder: IEA.LoT-NET (Low Temperature Heat Recovery and Distribution Network Technologies): I act as a researcher supporting LSBU's activities within the project, which relate mainly to investigating waste/recoverable heat opportunities for district heating applications in the UK. Funder: EPSRC.TICR (Transport, Industrial and Commercial Refrigeration): I lead the energy modelling for TICR, which involves estimating current and projecting future energy consumption levels and emissions for refrigeration in different sectors. Funder: DESNZ.GreenSCIES (Green Smart Community Integrated Energy Systems): I worked as a researcher on this project, supporting LSBU-led activities relating to reviewing climate neutrality commitments of UK local authorities and identifying areas suitable for smart local energy systems in the London Borough of Islington. Funder: InnovateUK.I also support other academic projects within LSBU related to sustainable heating and cooling, such as the LSBU Energy Advice Centre (Funder: UPP Foundation) and the Net Zero Future Skills Bootcamp (Funder: GLA).

Funded by Transport for London and London South Bank University, the PhD project involved the technical analysis of the performance of Bunhill 2, a first-of-its-kind system that recovers waste heat from the London Underground network. This project relates to the energy targets set by the UK Government and Mayor of London in order to face climate change and stimulate the use of renewable and decentralised energy sources. The work also includes investigating the potential cooling benefit that… Show more Funded by Transport for London and London South Bank University, the PhD project involved the technical analysis of the performance of Bunhill 2, a first-of-its-kind system that recovers waste heat from the London Underground network. This project relates to the energy targets set by the UK Government and Mayor of London in order to face climate change and stimulate the use of renewable and decentralised energy sources. The work also includes investigating the potential cooling benefit that could be delivered through the waste heat recovery system.During the PhD, I also supervised over 20 undergraduate final year projects and worked as a laboratory demonstrator for the Thermofluids and Dynamics module of the Mechanical Engineering Course.

The heating and cooling group at LSBU is a leading UK-based research team in the field of sustainable heating and cooling with more than 30 years of experience. Our aim is to promote energy efficiency and support the decarbonisation of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) applications across industrial, commercial and domestic sectors.

The LSBU Energy Advice Centre offers Londoners free advice and information on home energy efficiency improvements. This covers from simple easy-to-do adjusments to more complex measures, such as improving fabric insulation and transitioning to clean/renewable technologies.This initiative is aimed at alleviating the impacts of the current cost-of-living crisis and supporting Londoners in their journey to a more sustainable way of living. Information will also be provided on currently… Show more The LSBU Energy Advice Centre offers Londoners free advice and information on home energy efficiency improvements.

The CEM/MI Youth Parallel Programme selected 65 young participants from all over the globe that had the chance to learn from energy leaders and connect with leading minds working to accelerate the global clean energy transition. I was selected as a Young Energy Leader to represent the Brazilian Youth on the topic of Sustainable Cities and Eco-Energy Towns.

Vetor Brasil is a nonprofit organisation that aims to prepare young leaders seeking to make social impact and to improve Brazil’s public sector and how services are provided to the public. The organisation connects recent graduates to local and state governments throughout Brazil, monitoring and supporting their professional development.

Planning of construction and renovation projects. The job consisted mainly of the following activities:- Calculating the demand for material resources;- Estimating costs involved in the construction process;- Evaluating the most cost-effective alternatives;- Time management;- Elaborating physical-financial schedules;- Measuring productivity indicators on construction sites.

Planning and budgeting the construction of residential buildings in the Belo Horizonte Area. Responsibilities included measuring workers' productivity on the construction site, calculating the demand for supplies and material resources, evaluating costs, elaborating physical-financial schedules and monitoring construction progress.

As a fellow in the Science Without Borders programme, funded by the Brazilian Government, I engaged in a project that devised a low carbon system using London’s water supply infrastructure as a means to cool London Underground stations and data centres around the city. The study involved feasibility assessments, such as a compatibility analysis between the geographical coordinates of the cooling sources and those of the stations and data centres, as well as a comparison of the costs involved in… Show more As a fellow in the Science Without Borders programme, funded by the Brazilian Government, I engaged in a project that devised a low carbon system using London’s water supply infrastructure as a means to cool London Underground stations and data centres around the city.

The project aimed to analyse the possibility of using glass residues of small grain size as a cement compound. Both colourless and amber-coloured glass powder were studied in order to examine if they would work as pozzolanic materials in a cement mixture, which could lower the use of clinker in cement production, helping to reduce its carbon footprint. The project was developed at the Laboratory of Special Experiments at the Department of Materials and Construction Engineering at the Federal… Show more The project aimed to analyse the possibility of using glass residues of small grain size as a cement compound.
