      Bolsista de doutorado no Laboratório de Simulação Numérica em Mecânica dos Fluidos e Transferência de Calor (SINMEC) na área de escoamentos multifásicos numérica e experimental. O objetivo principal de sua tese consiste em implementar um método numérico capaz de predizer o comportamento de um escoamento multifásico do gás-líquido com diferentes escalas de interface. Como forma de validar a capacidade de predição do modelo implementado, os resultados numéricos obtidos serão comparados com resultados experimentais de escoamentos que envolvam interfaces com diferentes escalas.
