Materials and Manufacturing Engineer, graduated in 2017 from the University of São Paulo (USP). During his undergraduate studies, he conducted research at the Institute of Metals and Technology in Slovenia, gaining expertise in the fracture toughness of spring steels.He holds a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Technology, earned in 2023 from São Paulo State University (UNESP). As part of his doctoral studies, he was a research fellow at the University of Minho in Portugal, where he specialized in powder metallurgy, corrosion, and tribocorrosion. His doctoral thesis focused on developing novel composite materials as alternatives to titanium alloys for biomedical applications, aiming to enhance the mechanical and tribo-electrochemical performance of biomaterials used in implants.Additionally, he holds several certifications, including: Specialist in Automotive Engineering (USP); Computer Technician (UNESP); and Specialist in Data Science (USP).In May 2024, he completed his first postdoctoral project at UNESP, funded by CAPES, investigating surface treatments to modulate the biological responses of titanium alloys and composites. Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), working on a FAPESP-funded project focused on additive manufacturing of metallic and composite materials. His research aims to develop innovative solutions to address current challenges in orthopedic prostheses and other biomedical implants. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Worldwide, there is a growing demand for orthopedic prostheses, such as hip and knee prostheses, that exhibit greater durability and enhanced performance. In this context, Beta-type titanium-niobium (Ti-Nb) alloys have attracted considerable interest, primarily due to their combination of low elastic modulus and high corrosion resistance. However, the low wear resistance of metallic mater…
The need for orthopedic joint prostheses, such as hip and knee prostheses, has become more and more common, mainly due to the aging of the population. In this scenario, Ti alloys, especially those of the ² type, have attracted greater attention among the metallic materials used in prostheses since they offer the best combination of mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biologica…
The critical components in mechanical constructions are generally responsible for bearing heavy loads or internal forces which tend to originate catastrophic failures. An example of this type of mechanical element is the blade spring, sustaining vertical efforts from large automotive vehicles, such as trucks. In order for this crucial structural component to present greater efficiency, it…
This study aims to comprehend the correlations between composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of newly developed composites intended for biomedical applications. Beta-type titanium alloys, renowned for their low elastic moduli, combined with titanium carbide (TiC) reinforcements, have emerged as promising candidates to meet load-bearing and wear-resistant requirements in b…
Total hip arthroplasty has become more and more a common surgery mainly due to the ageing population. As a result, the development of new materials for this type of prosthesis is an issue of extreme importance, aiming at greater durability and efficiency. Currently, the hip prosthesis is modular, divided into four components. One of these components is the femoral stem, commonly made of t…
The spring steels are the materials most commonly used in car suspensions and are subject to heavy efforts in terms of load, impact and also under intense fatigue solicitation. Required mechanical performance depends mainly on the chemical composition and heat treatments. After a year of research funded by FAPESP, important results have been achieved showing the influence of cryogenic tre…
