Rayane Mattos

Nayara é uma excelente profissional. Tive a oportunidade de trabalhar com ela no mestrado, no doutorado e em vários projetos de engenharia geotécnica. Ela é muito proativa, sabe coordenar muito bem e sempre está disposta a aprimorar os seus conhecimentos, buscando soluções mais rápidas e inovadoras. Ter Nayara na equipe foi um diferencial, ela impulsionava as pessoas, sempre disposta a fazer o seu melhor, uma profissional exemplar.

Nayara é uma excelente profissional, disposta, dedicada e determinada no que faz. Sempre administrou varias atividades de forma majestosa, se preocupando com os resultados e com o bem estar das pessoas ao redor, nunca mediu esforços para conquistar seus objetivos, tê-la na equipe é um grande diferencial. Tem um espírito de liderança, e é uma pessoa boa de se trabalhar. Umas das suas qualidades, dentre tantas outras, é a de ser uma pessoa comunicativa e que sempre prezou por ajudar e guiar as pessoas com quem trabalhava de forma zelosa. Tive oportunidade de trabalhar com Nayara no mesmo grupo por alguns anos e diretamente por um ano, e para mim foi de extremo ganho profissional e pessoal.

      Services provided to the Soil and Instrumentation Laboratory (LSI at Federal University of Pernambuco). (Recife, Brazil)- Execution, supervision and interpretation of laboratory soil tests.- Hundreds of laboratory tests were conducted including soil characterization, direct shear, uniaxial and triaxial compression, diametrical compression, odometer, CBR, permeability and compaction tests, also included a field test, the “in situ” density test. Those experimental laboratory tests were performed in order to solve the demand of several geotechnical companies as ENSOLO, Tecomat, Odebrecht, among other Brazilian companies. Approximately 53 different companies were benefited by its results. Show less
