Profile

About Me: I'm an Electrical Engineer from Brazil, currently finishing a Master's degree in Electronic Engineering at Tyndall National Institute. I love learning new things, playing videogames and doing papercrafts!

My Work: I develop new types of sensors with mini-computers inside them! These sensors are used in agriculture, health and other applications to monitor important things.

My Typical Day: It depends on the day. Some days I design the electronics, some days I program the sensor, other days I go to the lab to test the sensors. I also write scientific articles and presentations of what I am developing.

What I'd do with the money: I would buy educational electronic kits to demonstrate how electronics can be fun to students.
