Fernando Augusto de Noronha Castro Pinto, Dr. Ing.

Bachelor and M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (1988 / 1991) and Dr.-Ing. (Maschinenbau) from Techische Universität Hamburg Harburg (1996). Has experience in Mechanical Engineering, focusing on Statics and Applied Dynamics. Currently head of the Acoustics and Vibration Laboratory of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro works full time as Prof. Associado of the Mechanical Engineering Department of The Federal University of Rio de Janeiro is responsible for courses held in Undergraduate and Graduate Courses in Mechanical Engineering such as: Dynamics, Vibration, Control, Classic Mechanics, Monitoring and Diagnosis of Machines and Signal Processing. Main research fields are related to the development of hardware and algorithms for sound source identification, sound field diffuseness, binaural identification, magnetic bearings, rotor-dynamics, dynamic seal parameter identification and machine learnning. Coordinates reasearch projects including the construction of a test-rig for the identification of seal parameters under Petrobras funding. Already coordinated research projects in sound source identification and application of machine learning techniques applied to thermal power plants and power industry. Author of books and book chapters in magnetic bearings, environmental acoustics assessment and game theory, has also advised several conclusion projects for the undergraduate course in mechanical engineering, master of science dissertations and doctoral thesis. Already participated in the organisation of different international congresses, has presented over 80 papers in several national and international meetings and acts as reviewer for different journals. Is responsible for several projects with the industry in the fields of Acoustics and Vibrations.
