Astronomical Instrumentation.

Optical astronomical instrumentation applied to Giant Magellan Telescope and Cherenkov Telescope Array.

Optical designer for Defense and defence and aerospace projects

Work in Research and Development Department (R&D) in optical designs for Defense and Aerospace (multispectral filters) projects.Main activities: * Design, follow-up manufacturing and quality process, development of systems for testing and evaluation, installation of visible and thermal optical systems; * Development of projects of new products in defense and aerospace areas, as well as optimizing existing ones; * Follow-up production processes; * Designing software used in internal processes; * Perform calculations for costs and final budgets.

Designs for optical systems and development of electro-optical test benches applied to the area of Defence. Main activities: IR seeker for A-Darter missile (5th Generation Sort Range Air-Air Missile) * Follow-up the design and verification of the quality of optical components; * Specification and preparation of routine electro-optical tests; * Development of software for evaluation of electro-optical subsystems; * Perform theoretical studies, analysis and mitigation of the effects of spurious radiation in the telescope and cooled detector (dewar); Additionally, during the period, I joined a 10 months training (Infrared Radiometry and Modelling Training Course) with the goal of empowering students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills for:1 Carry out radiometric measurements in the infrared (IR) of certain objects; 2 Construct measurement equations of the objects measured ; 3 Do data reduction of the measurements;4 Construction mathematical, radiometric models of measured objects; 5. Translate mathematical models into computerized models which serves as input to the IR simulation program;6 Prepare, implement and evaluate a background terrain;7. Perform simulations with computerized models and terrain.
