From 2014-2017, he was the Head of the Electrical Engineering area at CAPES, an accreditation agency of the Brazilian government, established to regulate and carry out quality control of graduate studies in Brazil. From 2019 to early 2023, he was Dean of Graduate Studies at EESC/USP. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and his research interests span over a large variety of topics in semiconductor devices, optical communications and microwave-photonics. Samples of his research work can be found in more than 50 journal papers, including manuscripts at IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology, IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology, IEEE Sensors, IEEE Access and IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, among other top-ranked journals.He is now serving as Associate Editor for Terahertz and Microwave Photonics for the journal Frontiers in Photonics as well as Latin America chapters representative in the IEEE Nanotechnology Council. He has also been the editor of the Scopus indexed Journal of Microwaves, Optoelectronics and Electromagnetics Applications, as well as served in a variety of international journal editorial boards and conference TPCs. Recently, he served as a member of the organizing committee for IEEE Nano 2025, the flagship conference for the IEEE Nanotechnology Council, held in Washington DC, in July 2025.
