Victor S. Macedo is an researcher in Electronics Engineering with a robust background in capacitive sensors, embedded electronic systems, mixed-signal and digital signal processing, as well as semiconductor design. In 2025 he completed a double-degree program in Electronics Engineering through a collaboration between the University of São Paulo (USP) and Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), achieving a final classification of 8 out of 10 at USP and 16 out of 20 at IST. His MSc. thesis focused on developing first concept of capacitive sensors array probe designed for the layer-by-layer imaging on metal 3D printing processes, earning a grade of 17 out of 20. Victor has actively engaged in scientific research since the early stage of his academic journey. He has been a member of the IEEE Student Branch since 2019, promoting workshops, seminars and science fairs to the local comunity and participated in undergraduate research at the Laboratório de Processamento de Sinais (LPS - EESC/USP). His first papers as first author “Evaluating Capacitive Imaging for Powder Bed Fusion Metal Additive Manufacturing” and “Imaging with Capacitive Sensors Arrays for Powder Bed Fusion Quality Control” (presented by the author in an international conference) were published in 2023 while researching with the Instrumentation and Measurements Group (GIM) of Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT). He co-authored three additional papers, “Experiments with Near-Field Microwave Imaging for Powder Bed Fusion Metal Additive Manufacturing”, “Microplastics detection with microfluidics integrated with a microwave sensor” and “An open-end microwave resonator for microplastics flow-cytometry” both presented in international conferences. Beyond academia, Victor gained industry experience as an innovation intern at the Centro de Pesquisa Wernher Von Braun, where he developed low-power oscillators for an RFID tag used for automatic payments in vehicles. Additionally, he utilized open-source tools to develop a semiconductor design platform focused on analog integrated circuit (https://www.chipinventor.com) . After a year in industry, Victor returned to academia and was accepted in the 'DEEC call for PhD applications', a temporary PhD scholarship program designed to support the transition to other funding sources. The program supports students of high academic merit who are interested in pursuing a PhD at Instituto Superior Técnico, funded through a part-time teaching position. His primary research interests include Powder Bed Fusion, Quality Control, Capacitive sensors, Capacitive Imaging, Additive Manufacturing, Rotating and controlled orientation field, Eddy current testing, solidifying his interest in innovative and strategic areas for the implementation of diverse materials in Industry 4.0.
