Maria Fernanda de Souza da Silva

Currently, I am a student in the Energy Engineering program at the São Paulo State University 'Julio de Mesquita Filho' - UNESP, Campus Rosana/SP (2020). I am a scholarship recipient from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) for the project titled 'Estimating the energy output of urban micro-wind turbines using machine learning', linked to the research group BioJoule. In early 2023, I assumed the position of Vice President of the Academic Center for Energy Engineering - C.A.E.E, under the 'Alan Turing' slate. In 2022, I participated in the case competition hosted by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in partnership with Azul Airlines, titled 'Aerospace Engineering Virtual Program.' I was awarded the winning nomination for the proposal and study presented to the company. Until March 2023, I held scholarships for two research and extension projects. The first involved the 'Automation of a Didactic Physics Laboratory for High School Education,' and the second focused on the 'Production of Low-Cost Briquettes for Income Improvement in Settlements.' In parallel with these projects, since 2021, I have been engaged in non-funded scientific research in the field of Wind Energy, specifically studying the micro-sizing of wind turbines and their applications in urban areas. Additionally, I have served as a teaching assistant for the Physics 1 course for undergraduate students in the Energy Engineering program. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
