Edgar Amaral Silveira

Edgar A. Silveira holds a double Ph.D. in Mechanical Sciences (University of Brasília, Brazil) and Fiber and Wood Sciences (University of Lorraine, France). Silveira is a Professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Brasília (UnB). Professor Silveira is engaged with biomass energy, waste management, thermochemical conversion technologies, heat transfer and energy systems. He integrates the Graduate Program in Mechanical Sciences (PPGCM-UnB). In addition, the professor is a researcher at the Energy and Environment laboratory LEA-UnB and coordinator of the Combustion Laboratory at ENM-UnB. Silveira is active in research on experimental and numerical modeling of pyrolysis, torrefaction, gasification aiming to convert waste and biomass into green vectors and sustainable products. The young professor has published 28 papers, some of which are published in journals such as International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (IF 7.139), Renewable Energy (IF 8.634), Energy Conversion and Management (IF 11.533), Waste Management (IF 8.876), Energy (Impact Factor 8.857), Fuel (IF 8.035), Biomass and Bioenergy (IF 5.774), Industrial Crops and Products (IF 6.449) and Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (IF 6.437) receiving an H-index of 13 (Scopus) and over 380 citations in Scopus.

O Professor Edgar A. Silveira possui um duplo Ph.D. em Ciências Mecânicas (Universidade de Brasília, Brasil) e Ciências das Fibras e Madeira (Universidade de Lorraine, França).
