PPGTA Alumni

“I am very grateful to the Environmental Technologies program. The theoretical basis of the Master, where I used Numerical Methods, Mathematical Modeling, Optimization etc. first of all, it enabled me to achieve academic results, such as obtaining the title of Doctor by USP de São Carlos. The theoretical basis obtained in the PGTA Graduate Program helped me in the development of algorithms that were incorporated into software called INFOSAN, which was acquired in 2018 by an American multinational company (Itron).

Currently, I am as Director of Digital Solutions in Latin America at Accell, working on the development of new solutions and application of IoT in the Water, Gas, Energy and Smart Cities markets. Finally, I can affirm that the main differential of the PGTA is multidisciplinarity, allowing professionals who attend the program to expand their area of expertise in the market.”

The teachers are undoubtedly among the best in the country (qualified and with high scientific productivity), it is a great opportunity to meet great professionals, and another great difference is the possibility of keeping in touch with the teachers even after the modules are finished, doubts, giving professional advice, in short, everything that is necessary, being always solicitous and dedicated.

I have a degree in Physics from UFSCAR, I already took a master’s degree in agricultural meteorology at UFV, such was my satisfaction when I was a student in the first class of the PhD course in Environmental Technologies at UFMS and the first student to defend the title of doctor. The course surprised me positively in spite of being a beginner course, it has defined lines of research and work materials with excellent bibliographic references, offering perspectives and contacts for future works in partnerships with other HEIs. The plans after completing the doctorate were carried out with continuous improvement, seeking to become an increasingly better professional.

But it is important to make it clear that in the PhD course at UFMS, you not only study theory, but also practice, allowing you to apply the lessons in the first module, you acquire more knowledge, feel more secure, and, if necessary , has the support of the best professionals / teachers in the country. It is a course that really leaves you prepared for your professional life”
