I have a degree in Electrical Engineering from UFSM, a master's degree in Electrical Engineering from UFSM and a PhD in Agricultural Engineering from UFSM. More than 10,000 hours later - and after being partner of two engineering companies, working on the design and execution of electrical installations, logic networks and electronic security systems, as well as releasing reports, assessments and expert opinions - I acquired not only a good amount of experience on business management, but also on engineering pratical knowledge. During this same period, Ive played an important role at my regional professions council, and until now I am actively representing the council of my profession at undergraduate engineering course boards. I am currently a Full Professor at the Colégio Técnico Industrial de Santa Maria (CTISM) teaching Electronics, Circuits and Digital Systems, Microcontrollers, Electroelectronic Maintenance and Embedded Electronics in Agricultural Machinery. I have also been a member of IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) since 1996. In addition, I coordinate and participate in extension projects related to Educational Robotics and Assistive Technology. My areas of interest on RD include process automation, creativity and innovation. Long story short, Ive spent a good part of my life getting to know every aspect of my profession. And this story is just beginning.
