I started my PhD at Cranfield University in June 2019. My research is focussed on the development of high deposition rate Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing processes. I received my Bachelor and Master in Mechanical Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon (Portugal). My master thesis (2018) was entitled Non-Destructive Testing of large metal parts produced by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing and this was my first contact with the WAAM technology. The work for my master thesis was part of a European Project (LASIMM), in which I joined as a Researcher until June 2019. I am a hands-on person that prefer to be in the laboratory instead of doing office work. My hobbies include traveling, watching TV series and meet up with my friends.
