Graduated in the integrated master course of biomedical engineering, he first completed his licentiate degree in 2019, which allowed to study different areas, from biomaterials, electronics, informatics, physiology, to fundamentals of engineering and clinical management, among others. In its specialization, in Clinical Engineering, knowledge was deepened regarding scientific, technical, and administrative support in the management of clinical departments that serve the hospital's medical staff. With the theme "On forecasting emergency department visits", the dissertation focused on the construction and analysis of forecasting systems for healthcare demand in the emergency department, where it gained experience in data science, classical or machine learning forecasting techniques, thus expanding an already vast area of knowledge. This project was given the classification of 20 (out of 20), further evidencing his successful contribution in the academic field. Alongside this, a couple of publications were submitted, greatly contributing to this scientific topic in various forms.
