Professional with 2 years of experience in Research and Development Engineering, I have been actively involved in R&D projects focused on the development of new medical devices and implants for the human body.With a solid background in project management, I have gained valuable experience working on a diverse range of scientific and industrial projects. These opportunities have not only sharpened my analytical and technical skills, but also provided me with valuable insights into effective project execution and collaboration.Passionate about science and innovation in solving real-world problems in the medical field, I have pursued my dream career path in R&D. Since my university days, I have actively engaged in projects focused on computational and experimental biomedical engineering, particularly in the areas of cardiovascular research and bioprinting. During my experiences, I had the opportunity to enhance my soft skills in various ways, including leading teams and honing my communication abilities, leveraging my fluency in both English and Portuguese. These experiences have not only allowed me to develop strong self-management skills but also enabled me to thrive in interdisciplinary and collaborative environments.✅ Career Highlights:• Recognised for the best Engineering and Safety Project, with the NR13 Standard Project.• Achieved over 15% improvement in energy efficiency within a four-month project timeframe.• Acknowledged for the best research project at the ENCIT congress.• Received the Chevening Scholarship, which only 2% of applicants are accepted. The programme enables emerging leaders from all over the world to pursue one-year master’s degrees in the UK. ✅ I am capable of contributing to the development of medical devices, prototyping, and performing materials characterisation and computational simulation.👩🏽💻 Additionally, I am currently expanding my knowledge in Python programming and learning the German language.
