I’m a Ph.D student at the State University of Campinas/Brazil, on the Lab. of Computational Structural Mechanics (Dept. of Comp. Mech.), and at the Simon Fraser University in Vancouver/Canada. I research methods and implementations for high performance numerical integration, the boundary elements method and its auxiliary states. You can download part of my 2009-2010′s scientific production here. Luckily, all of them are in English.

BEM x GPU. An ultimate broad comparison of three different implementations of the Boundary Element Method on graphics hardware, from the experience we’ve got in the past years working on this subject. Published on the International Conference on Boundary Element Techniques – BETeq 2010.

Longman x GPU. We’ve investigated the numerical improper integration of oscillatory-decaying function on graphics hardware. The GPU has shown to be astonishing 900 times faster than an ordinary CPU in this problem. Paper published on the journal Computer Modeling in Engineering and Sciences.

Longman x GPU. Abstract of a prior, less developed version of the same paper, published on the 10th U. S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics – USNCCM 2009.

BEM Potential x GPU. A graphics hardware implementation of the Boundary Elements Method for potential problems, published on the 20th International Congress of Mechanical Engineering – COBEM 2009.

BEM Elastostatics x GPU. Now, elastostatics problems are treated. What are the gains with the GPU implementation, in this more arithmetically intensive sort of problems? Published on the 11st Pan-American Congress of Applied Mechanics – PACAM 2010.

Continuous Boundary Elements on GPU. What is going to happen when we have to deal with multiple concurrent processes trying to access the same address of an influence matrix, as it happens with continuous boundary elements? Published on the 30th Iberian-Latin-American Congress on Computational Method in Engineering – CILAMCE 2009.

HPC on GPGPU. This is our proposal of a mini-symposium on High Performance Computing on Graphics Hardware for the CILAMCE 2009, which by the way has been accepted. The symposium was a success!

Master Degree’s Dissertation. My old M.Sc. degree’s dissertation, on An Implementation of the Indirect Boundary Elements Method Based on a Stationary, Non-Singular, Viscoelastodynamic Solution. Try to say it without breathing! Sadly, it’s in Portuguese…

Conversion of Ovens. This is a very, very old research I’d developed in the last semester of my undergrad. It’s on a low cost technique for manufacturing food dehydrators (what does it have to do with my research again?). It was submitted this year just because it was undergoing a patent process… Also for the COBEM 2009.
