I am a PhD Candidate working in ModLab, part of the GRASP Lab, at the University of Pennsylvania and I am also the Group’s Social Chair. I am originally from Belo Horizonte, Brazil and obviously passionate about soccer. Whenever I can I am watching a Cruzeiro game (Brazilian soccer). I graduated with honor in Mechanical Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais (Brazil) with a period of one year as an exchange student at The Pennsylvania State University. Prior to coming to Penn, I worked at CoRIS Institute at Oregon State University and also at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Latin America at the Electronics Engineering.
My current research about Modular Flying Robots is a collaboration with Vijay Kumar Lab.
