Nominator's project description
| Professor Pereira is among the leading international experts in the area of industrial control. In particular, he plays an outstanding role to apply the Object-Oriented paradigm in the industrial applications of real-time control. He has developed scientific methodologies and experimental tools to advance the fundamental knowledge in integrated control and mechanical behavior issues in e-maintenance engineering. In addition, he substantially contributed to interdisciplinary issues in dealing with analytical description of mechanical behaviors and machine failure prediction using analytical, numerical and experimental techniques. During his stays in Germany, Prof. Pereira will advance research on Cyber Physical Systems. This is a research area of highest relevance for both, Germany as a heavily export-oriented country and Brazil which emerges as the leading technology nation in South America. |
