Fábio Romano Lofrano Dotto

He holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (2001), a master's degree in industrial engineering (2004), and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering with a focus on industrial automation (2019) from São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP). He obtained recognition of a specific academic degree of Doctor in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Porto, Portugal (2023). During his undergraduate studies, he was a research fellow (1999-2001) and later a master's fellow (2002-2004) sponsored by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). He also worked as a full professor (2003-2009) at the University Paulista (UNIP), a substitute professor (2005-2006) at São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP), a full professor (2003-2007) at Faculdades Integradas de Ourinhos (FIO), and a professor at the Faculty of Technology in Bauru - FATEC (2023).In the private sector, he served as CEO and senior researcher for 17 years at FAROL Research, Development, and Consulting, participating in over 50 projects funded by the Research and Technological Development and Innovation Program (PDI) of the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), becoming one of the crucial drivers of innovation in the Brazilian electrical sector between 2011 and 2015. In 2015, he was a visiting researcher at Termocycle Companies in Kwidzyn (Poland) and Enogia in Marseille (France) as part of collaborations that resulted in a pioneering study on geothermal energy generation in Brazil under his coordination. In 2017, he was a visiting researcher at the University of Porto - FEUP (Portugal) through a project that led to the result of a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) for underwater inspection in hydroelectric power plants. In 2018, he was a visiting researcher at the University of Naples (Italy), the University of Genoa (Italy), and the Interdepartmental Industrial Research Center at the University of Bologna (Italy) through a collaborative project that resulted in a low-cost sensor for instant force measurement in manufacturing systems.He has filed two patents with INPI, is the author/co-author of over 50 scientific papers, and serves as a reviewer for specialized journals such as the IEEE Sensors Journal and IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics.Currently, he is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the School of Engineering of São Carlos, University of São Paulo (USP), specializing in industrial automation. His research focuses on systems for monitoring and supervising industrial processes and electrical systems, with an emphasis on instrumentation and data acquisition, pattern recognition, machine learning, fault diagnosis systems, sensor design and development, piezoelectric transducers, embedded systems for Industry 4.0, and the Internet of Things.
