About
Associate Professor in Ship Design at the Department of Ocean Operations and Civil Engineering, NTNU (Norway) since 2013. The professorship was connected to the Ship Design Chair at the Maritime Knowledge Hub, sponsored by Ulstein Group (2013-2018).
Former program coordinator for the MSc in Ship Design and MSc in Product and Systems Design at IHB (2016-2021).
Active research and coordination activities on the FABLAB and Ship Design and Operations lab at NTNU in Ålesund. Special interest in open and collaborative applications for the digitalization of the ship design activity. Main coordinator of the Vessel.JS library.
Education consists of a PhD degree in Marine Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, IMT (2012). Part of the PhD developed at the Systems Engineering Advancement Research Initiative (SEAri) at MIT, with complex system engineering methods applied to the maritime case (2010-2011). Visiting lecturer and research collaboration with the Marine Research Group at UCL (2016 and 2019).
Previous experience as Senior Consultant at Det Norske Veritas (Norway, 2012-2013).
Previous experience in Oil & Gas in Brazil, at the TPN - Numerical Offshore Model Basin in Brazil (partnership with Petrobras, University of São Paulo and other research institutes in Brazil). Master in engineering (2yrs) and Diploma Engineering (5yrs) in Naval Architecture and Maritime Engineering at University of São Paulo, Brazil. Born in 1979.
