Biography

Doctor of Engineering, I am a professor at the Inst of Hydraulic Research (IPH) of Univ Fed Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and I work as a researcher in the field of power generation from renewable resources. I teach courses on fluid mechanics and hydraulics and on design methods to undergraduate courses in engineering from UFRGS. I also teach courses on design and analysis of experiments and on design methods for the postgraduate course in water resources of IPH UFRGS, for which I also offer electives on natural resources and renewable energy. My research projects include energetic complementarity and hybrids based on complementary resources, determining energetic potential of ocean waves and currents on the coast of southern Brazil.
