DECEMBER 2019 – TO PRESENT
BUSINESS OWNER OF MINDFUL MOM ART, ETSY STORE ONLINE. Founded the ETSY Store Mindful Mom Art (www.mindfulmomart.etsy.com). Applied my skills on programing and data analysis to optimize the SEO and the sales. Accomplished more than 1000 sales in 6 months. Developed a software that reads the data is available for ETSY shop owners to download, and plots several graphs that help business owners understand more about their shop performance. This software will soon be available for purchase.

GRADUATE RESEARCH TRAINEE, MCGILL UNIVERSITY, CANADA. Studied the electromagnetic tethered system to reduce the disturbing forces, especially the atmospheric drag, and to create a drag and de-orbit the tethered system faster. A solar sail study was also conducted. o Oliveira, Thais C.; Prado, Antonio F. B. A.; Misra, A. Determining Orbits that can be Controlled by Natural Forces.

EDUCATION
2012-2016
P.H.D, NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR SPACE AND RESEARCH (INPE), BRAZIL. One of the main objectives of the thesis is to study the magnitude of the disturbing forces received by a spacecraft for several orbits with the help of the method called Integral Perturbation. The Integral Perturbation can be the integral of the magnitude of the acceleration caused by the external disturbing forces that act on a spacecraft for one orbital period or the magnitude of the integral of the acceleration of the external disturbing forces for one orbital period. The study includes the behavior of different external disturbing forces for different orbits by varying the Keplerian elements.

MASTER DEGREE, NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR SPACE AND RESEARCH (INPE), BRAZIL.
Calculate the optimal maneuver with a continuous propulsion system with a propulsion direction with or without constraints and constant magnitude of the thrust. The method used is based on the Pontryagin’s maximum principle, in order to get the optimal trajectory according to the control limitations and to maximize the final mass. The hybrid method is used for solving the optimal control problem. The minimization of the fuel consumption considers the possible constraints of the initial and final orbits, constraints for firing in certain regions and the limitation in the direction of the thrust.
