    RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

    Through many years, my research interests are very broad and may be classified into five different fields: fluids, combustion, vibration, electromechanical design and numerical methods. However most works are related with numerical computation and fluids. Recent years, I am teaching advanced dynamics of machinery. It makes me being interested in the motion of a satellite in orbit. A research proposal had been developed in the last semester and was submitted to the State of Florida Technological Research and Development Authority. I am anxious also to work on this or related projects.
