Über mich
I am an Architect holding a Master's degree in Architecture and currently finishing a Ph.D. program. My experience comprehends the research and development of projects focused on building energy efficiency regulations, simulation and data analysis of building energy performance, and knowledge share of these research results across Brazil and other countries. I believe that, through technology and science, it is possible to improve the built environment sustainability without trading off people's comfort and well-being. What is more, the improvement of energy efficiency and indoor quality of buildings plays an essential role in the reduction of CO2 emissions as well as the mitigation of climate change and its effects. Over the years, I had the chance to experience different cultures during extended stays in countries such as Germany, Portugal, and USA. Technical skills: EnergyPlus | Ladybug Tools, Grasshopper | Euclid | AutoCAD, Sketchup | Tableau, RStudio | Microsoft Office package
