I am currently a visiting researcher and teacher at the Aeronautics Technological Institute (ITA). I hold a Ph.D. degree in philosophy (University of São Paulo, 2017), a bachelor?s degree in philosophy (Jesuit Faculty of Philosophy and Theology, 2008), and a master?s and a bachelor?s degree in electrical engineering (University of Campinas, 2002 and 1999). My research area encompasses philosophy of technology and of engineering and engineering education. I am now studying: engaged technical designs, mainly focusing on those with bigger emancipatory or decolonial impacts; decolonial theory and philosophy; engineering education. I am particularly interested in: 1) understanding the emancipatory/decolonial technical practices? uniqueness, when compared to the mainstream ones, in terms of: applied methodologies and how and to what extent they promote dialogue of knowledge with the supported/partner group and foster decoloniality; (other) knowledge they use and produce; orienting values and worldviews; built solutions and their sociotechnical impacts; 2) identifying, drawing on 1, limitations in the currently established ontological, epistemic, and political understandings in the field of philosophy of technology (PT), offering enlargements (in dialogue with the area?s tradition -- also the decolonial nascent one) and thus contributing to PT?s decolonization; 3) conceiving and implementing educative practices capable of forming engineering students to engaged designs in general and, specifically, to decolonial technical designs. I am also a high school teacher (philosophy) at Escola Waldorf São Paulo, where I coordinate the high school course. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Today there is a broad agreement that the construction of an environmentally sustainable and a socially fairer sociotechnical order depends upon the incorporation in the technical design of ethical-political values other than the currently hegemonic ones. Therefore, it is acknowledged that engineering education, in which value-based elements are traditionally obliterated, must be modified…
Technology is currently widespread throughout every sphere of our lives, revealing and highlighting our dependence on it, and exerting a great influence over the very structuration we give to our own existences. Besides, its dissemination provoked and keeps provoking serious imbalances on the natural world, many of them irreparable. Thus, in order to enrich our understanding of it - a tas…
The dissemination of technology is patent in almost every area of our lives. Equally, it is remarkable our dependence of it for living, as well as its influence in the structuration and meaning we give to our existences. The aforementioned dissemination provoked and still causes serious environmental unbalances, many of them irreparable. Thus, in order to widen our understanding about tec…
