    For more than 16 years, energy and the environment have been in my scope of interest. Undoubtedly, sharing knowledge about physical fundamentals, engineering development, and business practices on several subjects such as Energy Efficiency, Energy Policies, Power Plants, Hydropower Energy, PV Systems, Solid Waste Management, among others allows me to be up-to- date with the constant and amazing changes we experience lately. I consider myself an eternal apprentice, with a very inquisitive nature I like to transfer my students so they find solutions on their own, which be useful for everyone in this global applications framework.
