Graduated in Mechatronics Engineering from the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (2006), completed his doctorate in the Group of Mechanics of Solids and Impact on Structures (GMSIE) at the same university in 2012, having spent 9 months of his doctorate in the Structural Impact Laboratory group ( SIMLab) from the Norwegian university NTNU. Hired as Professor of the department of mechatronics engineering and mechanical systems at the University of São Paulo in 2013, at the age of 29, works in two areas of research: i) in the areas of solid mechanics and finite elements, especially numerical structural analysis, impact on structures and mechanical behavior of polymers and ii) in the area of biomechatronics, especially in the construction of exoskeletons, man-machine interface and the study of motor control. He has been Coordinator of the Mechatronics Engineering and Mechanical Systems Course since 2021, in addition to being the department's representative on the Graduation Commission of the Polytechnic School of USP. He is also, since 2022, the Coordinator of the ThundeRatz Extension Group (https://thunderatz.org/), which is the robot battle team of the Polytechnic School of USP. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The 2019 National Health Survey shows that lower limb deficiencies are the ones that affect the Brazilian population the most. The dissemination of assistive technologies is extremely necessary to reduce the impact on the carriers. Among them, exoskeletons and lower robotic limbs are among those that provide the carrier with the possibility of recovering the natural walking movement. Howe…
According to data from the World Health Organization and The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, it is evident that a large number of people face some type of disability, besides the growing aging of the world population. Increasingly, rehabilitation and assistive technologies will be needed to help these people have a better quality of life. Therefore, investments in the dev…
Advances in medicine have brought additional years to the population, however, full health until the limit of life expectancy has not yet been reached. Studies carried out by the WHO and other health organizations have identified that approximately 10 years are lived with some disability. Many of these diseases imply the loss of mobility, and to overcome this, there are assistive technolo…
