Brief Presentation

He received a Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering from the Universidade Federal de Uberlandia (UFU- Brazil) in 1978. From early 1979 to September 1980, he was involved in the estimation and identification adaptive theory research. As a result of this work, in 1980, he received a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC-Brazil). In February 1981 he got a permanent position through public contest in the Electrical Engineering Department at UFU (Universidade Federal de Uberlândia) as a lecturer where he got his tenure position. From 1981 until 1985 under his direction, the Electrical Engineering Department had each year offered the several courses in the field of control systems to undergraduates pursuing a career in instrumentation, automation and Electrical Engineering. Dr. Fernandes has taught hundreds of students engineering theory, the basics of measurement and control, and process control systems at the undergraduate level. In February 1986 he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Newcastle, Australia as a research scholar. In February 1990 he received a PhD degree for his research in identification, analysis and control of nonlinear dynamics. From 1990 until 1995, Dr. Fernandes got his professor position through public contest at the Electrical Engineering Department of UFU, and was chosen to be the graduated director in the same department. In 1994 he created the first course of doctor degree in Electrical Engineering in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in the UFU. His academic life in the UFU was from 1981-2002. As a visiting professor, he worked from 1995 to 1997 at the Laboratoire d’Automatique de Grenoble Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, LAG/INPG, France. Since June 2002, he is a Full Time Professor at the Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR-Brazil). He was one of the coordinators of the National Program of Qualification (PNPQ – PROMINP/PETROBRAS) in UFPR (Curitiba-Parana-Brazil) in the southern region of Brazil. He was the supervisor of many undergraduate, Master and Doctor Degree students, reaching 50 monographs, 21 master thesis and 2 doctor dissertations until today. He has authored and co-authored over seventy journal and conference papers. He regularly serves as a consultant to the Government of Parana State and to the Federal Government in the analysis of research proposals. Also serves as a referee to various Engineering and Scientific Journals. He is the Publications Director of the International Society of Automation – District 4 since 2011. His contribution goes beyond academic walls because in 2007 he co-founded a company called SMARTT-Electrical Engineering and Industrial Automation Inc, with the main goal of contributing to the instrumentation, automation and Electrical Engineering area in Brazil, through his expertise. He is a member of Instrumentation Society of America (ISA) since 2003, received his senior position in 2010, and he was elevated to the fellow member position in 2011 for the research and development in control systems automation and instrumentation contributions.

His contributions for the systems automation and instrumentation started in 1979 and goes on until today (2013), i.e., he is working actively for 36 years, and being only 59 years old he has the potential and energy to go further with many projects that he is working in. Since July 2015, he retired as a Full Time Professor at the Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR-Brazil) in the southern region of Brazil. Currently, he is a Visiting Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. Teaching and research projects supervision

He was a member of PPGEE (Electrical Engineering Graduate Program)/UFU for 13 years where he lectured courses to Master’s and Doctor’s students in Electrical Engineering and also supervises graduate and undergraduate research. He was also a member of PPGEE (Electrical Engineering Graduate Program)/UFPR where he lectures courses to Master’s students in Electrical Engineering and also supervises graduate research. He joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering where he was teaching and supervising several students in the Automation and Instrumentation Engineering area. Currently, he is a Visiting Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh.

Research

He was the director of the research group LAR (Automatic and Robotics Research Laboratory) in the Electrical Engineering Department/UFPR. Currently, he is the director of the research group “Automation and Instrumentation Engineering Research for the Oil and Gas Sector in the Mechanical Engineering Department (UFPR). His main research topics include are Estimation and Identification Systems Theory; Control Systems Theory: Classical, Modern, and Advanced; and Industrial Instrumentation and Automation.
