Carlos Felipe Favaretto
Research Engineer
* 1993 ~ 1998 - Mechanical Engineering Degree from the Federal
University of Rio Grande fo Sul (Brazil).
During this period Carlos worked with analytical and experimental techniques applied to the development of turbine flow meters. He also developed computational tools integrated with CFD packages for the design of submersible pumps.
* 1998 ~ 2000 - MEng Degree from the Federal University of Rio Grande fo Sul (Brazil).
During this period Carlos also worked as a technical support member of the National Supercomputing Center of Southern Brazil. His activities there included seminar lecturing on the usage of commercial CFD/FEA packages (MSC/Patran,MSC/Nastran,Ansys,CFX) and general engineering support to the users.
* 2001 ~ 2004 - PhD course at Iwate University (Japan).
In collaboration with Toshiba Corporation. The main goal was to investigate the effects of secondary flow injection upstream of a turbine stage and to minimize it by use of optimization techniques. This work led to the development of a Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm based design optimization tool applied to the flow injection problem.
* 2004 ~ 2005 - Mechanical Engineering position at the Turbine Design Group of Toshiba Corporation (Japan).
Within the Turbine Design Group Carlos was a member of the LP turbine efficiency enhancement subgroup. Work included redesigning existing LP turbine blades for a particular design condition and to improve efficiency. His most significant contribution to the group was to implement the design optimization tool previously developed at Iwate University in their redesign cycle.
