Undergraduate studies in Physics at the Universidade de São Paulo (1991), master in engineering at Universidade de São Paulo (1994) and Ph.D. at Natural Sciences from Universität Dortmund (1998). Has experience in Material and Metallurgical Engineering, focusing on Phase Transformationsand Mechanical Bahavior of Materiais, acting on the following subjects: computational thermodynamics, intermetallics, cluster variation method, phase diagrams and configurational order, fracture and plastic deformation of engineering materials. Recently coordinated the group which suggested the creation of the Nuclear Engineering course and consequently dedicated his efforst in investigating issues of interest in this industry, in particular which the investigation of advanced nuclear fuels.

Highly concentrated alloys, also known as high entropy alloys, are multicomponent alloys (with more than four components) in which none can be taken as predominant. The project aims at investigating the thermodynamics of the V-Nb-Ta-Mo-Al and V-Nb-Ta-W-Al systems and to investigate the role of thermodynamics on the development of diffusion paths in these alloys, with a newly derived algor…
Duplex stainless steels are mainly applied in situations where stress corrosion cracking and pitting corrosion resistance are required. These steels, however, are produced by forming, and, in particular, by rolling. It is known that the processing window for these steels is thigh, which impairs fabrication. On the other hand, these steels present a very interesting phenomenon, which is wo…

This project is part of a larger project aiming at developing a thermodynamic database for system Zr - Mo - Nb, useful for the development of metallic uranium nuclear fuels. Eight samples will be investigated by X-ray diffraction, by electron generated X-ray spectroscopy by dispersion of energy (EDS) and by metallography (optical and electronic). These data will be compiled and analyzed, …
The aim of this project is the combination of advanced experimental and theoretical approaches for the development of thermodynamic databases dedicated to modeling steels and high performance alloys. Examples of materials are centrifugalliy cast superalloys designed for use in reforming and pyrolisis furnaces, as well as intermetallic-reinforced tool steels. The theoretical methods are th…
The question of the temperature scale in ab initio phase diagram calculations will be handled by two approaches, a rigorous one, corresponding to the derivation and programming of pair and irregular tetrahedron CD-CVM (Continuou Displacement CVM) models. The second approach will be the derivation of temperature dependent effective cluster interactions. The methods will be applied to syste…
