Short biography
Ricardo Pinto, Ph.D. holds a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Porto, and a Master's from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) also in Mechanical Engineering which was pursued with a full scholarship. During his Master's program, he also served as a teaching assistant while actively participating in student associations.
Following his Master's, he returned to Portugal, where he obtained a Ph.D. from the Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto. He's research focused on the application of composite materials to structures in the aerospace industry.
He then became a colaborator in the research facility INEGI in Porto, progressing from a researcher to a project manager, with responsibilities in mechanical testing and finite element software. During this period he was also engaged in supervising and examining Master's and Ph.D. theses. He conducted work in a new photovoltaic sustem where his contributions became part of several industrial patents.
Dr. Pinto provided Forensic Engineering consuting services between 2020 and 2022, providing scientific investigations and litigation support to clients in the United States. In 2021, he expanded his expertise into electronics and control systems, and worked with a group from the United States in a project resulting in a patented device for detecting animal lameness.
Currently,he is an Assistant Professor at the Polytechnic Institute of Viana do Castelo (IPVC), dedicated to teaching several mechanical engineer courses and conducting research in aditive manufacturing and composite materials.
