I started my academic quest in Manaus, receiving my B.S degree as a Mechatronic Engineer from the Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, UEA, in 2011 and my Masters degree in Electrical Engineering from the Universidade Federal do Amazonas, UFAM, in 2012. After that I moved to Belo Horizonte, where I'm currently pursuing my Doctoral degree at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, UFMG, since 2012. In 2015 I had the opportunity to join the IRG in a cooperation project between UFMG and MIT, focusing in applications of multiple manipulators working together with humans. My research interests include consensus of multi-agent systems, robotics, robust control, and time-delay systems.
