RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)
M.Sc. + Ph.D. Research
Research: Development of logic synthesis algorithms using Functional Composition (FC)
Results: The implemented algorithms are the following: Factorization of single and multi-output
Boolean functions, Minimum Decision Chain calculation and an algorithm to synthesize approximate
circuits containing triple modular redundancy (ATMR). Moreover, algorithms for emerging technologies
were implemented, including: Majority Logic for Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA), Threshold Logic for
Resonant Tunneling Diodes (RTD), Implication Logic for Memristors and algorithms for spin-diodes.
Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES)
Undergraduate Research
Research: Automation of scientific equipment with low-cost materials.
Results: The following equipment received a custom PC interface system in order to simplify data
acquisition: A Plasma torch prototype, an X-ray diffractometer, a spectrometer optic fiber control
system and a differential thermal oven. A new electronic system was designed to the differential
thermal oven from scratch, containing an adaptive predictive control system and multi-platform
software to manage efficiently the differential thermal analysis. The implemented prototype cost was
1/30 of a new one.
