I am a Civil Engineer graduated at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) in Brazil with a master’s degree in Transportation Engineering (UFC) with experience in asphalt paving materials, where I had the opportunity to deepen my knowledge in research. Currently, I am a PhD Candidate in the CIRCOPAV (Circular and Connected Pavements for Carbon-Neutral Digital Roads) project at the Institut für Straßenwesen from the Technische Universität Braunschweig and my research topic concerns sensor technologies in asphalt pavements damage evolution monitoring. Materials comprehension, testing, innovation, and new challenges are what motivate me in my work. During my master’s I worked with different people on different topics. Now I had the opportunity to come to Germany to work in a different technology within pavements engineering. This is one of the biggest professional challenges until now, but also a great opportunity to deepen my knowledge in asphalt pavements, the German language, and a different culture.
