Born in Brazil, André finished in 2010 his high school and technical studies in “Information Technology”. Since then, he worked as a programmer for private and public companies for seven years, while studying Electrical Engineering at a prestigious Brazilian university, the University of Campinas.
In 2019, he started a master in Acoustical Engineering offered by Institut Polytechnique de Paris and Université Paris-Saclay, in France. He concluded his master with an internship at École Polytechnique in partnership with Saint-Gobain Recherche, developing a finite element tool for simulating room acoustics.
With increasing interest in research he joined the GW4SHM project in September 2020 as a Ph.D. student at the Laboratory of Simulation and Modelling for Acoustics at DISC – CEA List, and at the MΞDISIM Team – Inria, both located at the Plateau de Saclay, France. Related to Guided Waves, his thesis topic is “Modelling and Data Assimilation for Pre-stresses Recovery in the Context of SHM”. This is particularly interesting for Structural Health Monitoring purposes as the structure is subjected to operational and environmental conditions that are related to internal mechanical stresses.
