Bachelor at Electrical Engineering from Industrial Engineering Faculty (FEI) (1978), master in Electrical Engineering from Campinas University (UNICAMP)(1988) and PhD in Electrical Engineering from Sao Paulo University (EPUSP)(1998). The principal industrial experiences are at Eletropaulo the Brazilian bigger electrical distribution utility, as an electrical power system studies engineer from 1979 to 1987 and as Operation Division and Department team management from 1987 to 1998, whose principal activities and responsibilities were the electrical power systems operation, static and dynamics simulations, power system protection and power quality analysis. From 1998 to 2000 was the EPTE a Sao Paulo transmission utility from São Paulo state in Brazil the Operation Department manager. In 1998 I have a strong participation in the operational standards elaboration at the Brazilian TSO, named ONS ? National System Operator, the Brazilian TSO. The academic experience is as the electrical power systems engineering professor at to the power system operation and control, power system protection, power systems dynamics and power quality areas at the bachelor to the PhD level, since 1987 at the IMT- Maua Institute of Technologies and the UNISANTA- Santa Cecilia University both from São Paulo state in Brazil. Also has been actuation in a Brazilian University as the Electrical Department Manager. As an electrical power system researcher had have about 15 researches projects coordination in Brazil at the industrial applications by Brazilians institutes in cooperation with abroad institutes in the energy electrical equipments and power systems control areas at the ENERQ/USP from 2000 to 2004 and from Santa Cecilia University from 2004 to 2012. Today I am the INESC P&D Brazil executive director. The INESC P&D Brazil is a technological research institute from Brazil, whose principal mission is to attend the Brazilian and Latin America industrial park in the innovation application at areas like; energy, robotics applications, sensors and data transmission, control and specialist systems, renewable energy integration, power systems and distributions systems protection and smart grids technologies.
