I'm working as a PhD Researcher at the University of Oslo on the AtLAST2 project, an EU-funded international effort to design the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope: a 50-metre single-dish observatory planned for the Chilean Andes at over 5,000 metres above sea level. What makes the facility unusual is that it is meant to run entirely on renewable energy, which turns a remote, power-hungry, off-grid observatory into a demanding energy systems problem. My work sits on that side of the project, dealing with the modeling, control, and optimization strategies needed to supply a load of this scale reliably from photovoltaic generation and hybrid storage. My doctoral research is supervised by Professor Mathias Hudoba de Badyn.
Before coming to Oslo, I completed a Master's degree in Engineering at the State University of Maringá (UEM), in Brazil, where I worked on photovoltaic systems and data-driven analysis. My research there centered on anomaly detection in solar power plants, developing analytical and computational methods to improve system reliability, operational safety, and performance. That work gave me the technical foundation I build on today.
My research interests include:
- Energy systems and power system modeling
- Control and optimization of energy systems
- Integration of renewable energy sources
- Reliability and efficiency of power systems
What drives me is bridging theoretical development and real-world application, contributing to energy infrastructures that are robust, sustainable, and genuinely high-performing.
