Associate Professor Carlos Alberto Fortulan is part of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at EESC-USP, where he teaches courses on mechanical design and materials. He earned a degree in Materials Engineering from UFSCar, a Master's, and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from EESC-USP. He has also completed a Post-doctoral degree in engineering and materials science from UFSCar and a senior Post-doctoral degree in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Virginia Tech. Since 2009, he has served as the Coordinator of the Laboratory of Tribology and Composites. His work spans several areas, including machine design, mold design, and the design and manufacturing of structural ceramic products and implants. He has seven years of experience (1986-1993) in the creation and development of ceramics, including electronic ceramics, sensors, and structural ceramics, gained through his roles at ENGECER and CERAUTO. Additionally, he has four years of experience in establishing and developing Precision Metrology Laboratories and Working Groups (such as Ultra Precision Metrology at EESC-USP and the Ceramic Center at the ParqTec Foundation). He has been a member of the Board of the São Carlos High Technology Park Foundation (ParqTec) since 2001 and has served on the certification board of the Brazilian Ceramic Center (CCB) since 2009. He is also a researcher at the National Institute of Science and Technology for Biofabrication (INCT-BIOFABRIS). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The development of zirconia ceramic formulations for additive manufacturing has been assuming increasing relevance given the importance of these materials for different industrial and biotechnology applications. The super-loading of powders in the ceramic suspension is the key to densification of the parts during sintering, where resins aided by solvents, dispersants and organic vehicles …
This project aims to develop an innovative manufacturing route to produce synthetic carbonate core plugs with controlled micro and macroporosity, mimicking natural rocks. Core plugs, cylindrical samples cut from rocks, are used to characterize the geological and petrophysical properties of a geological formation, such as an oil reservoir. They are also used to test new well-logging tools,…
Hydrophones are electroacoustic aquatic transducers that convert mechanical energy from sound waves to electrical energy. Such sensors are used in applications such as in the study of marine biology, analysis and design of vessels, sonar systems, torpedoes and surveillance systems. The spherical hydrophone model consists of two hollow piezoceramic hemispheres coated internally and externa…

This research internship project aims to develop a manufacturing route to produce calcium carbonate samples with controlled porosity at multiple scales. This BEPE is part of a PhD project to produce artificial carbonate rocks. Ceramics with hierarchical porosity have many desirable properties and are naturally found in porous rocks, coral reefs, and bones. However, it is challenging to ma…
