Development of methods for aerodynamic analysis of propeller-wing interaction effects that present results close to experimental data with a low computational cost.

Conducted propulsion sizing for a UAV, analyzed UAV performance using 3-DOF and 6-DOF simulators, and planned and implemented static, dynamic, ground, and flight test campaigns.

I provided management and technical support during the design and manufacturing phases, leading the conceptual phase by defining the initial aircraft design and performing multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) for the aircraft developed in 2023 and 2024. These efforts resulted in third place in the design category at the 2023 SAE Brazil AeroDesign competition. The developed methodology and its results were published in the XII National Congress of Mechanical Engineering (doi:… Show more I provided management and technical support during the design and manufacturing phases, leading the conceptual phase by defining the initial aircraft design and performing multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) for the aircraft developed in 2023 and 2024.

Focused on the design, validation, and manufacture of carbon fiber propellers, resulting in prototypes with 12% higher thrust than commercial counterparts. Despite the significant challenge of developing new technologies and processes within an 8-month timeframe, successfully achieved all major project goals. Some of the results were published in the 27th International Congress of Mechanical Engineering (doi: 10.26678/ABCM.COBEM2023.COB2023-0637).

I led a team of 27 engineering students to achieve fifth place in the design contest at the 2022 SAE Brazil AeroDesign competition. Overcame numerous challenges in coordinating team efforts, managing project deadlines, and ensuring effective collaboration and problem-solving.

I managed the aerodynamics sector, coordinating projects, setting goals, and implementing action plans to improve the quality and reliability of numerical analyses. Led the technical report writing, focusing on concise and effective communication for handling large volumes of information. Our efforts resulted in a fourth-place finish in the aerodynamic report competition.

The project "Creating Wings: Igniting Interest in Science and Technology", supported by the PIBEX/PROEX Program of the Federal University of San Francisco Valley, aimed to inspire interest in Engineering, Science, and Technology. It showcased an unmanned aerial vehicle through six lectures at high schools in Juazeiro and Petrolina, reaching 538 students.

Studying Differentiable Physics Simulators, Machine Learning, and AI in the Human Interaction and Robotics Group (HIRO) at the University of Colorado Boulder.
