Felipe Klein Fiorentin received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Porto in April 2023. He also holds a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of the State of Santa Catarina (UDESC), completed in March 2018, and a Bachelor's degree in Naval Engineering from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), obtained in January 2018. Currently, Felipe serves as a postdoctoral researcher at UFSC, focusing on vibration attenuation systems for automotive and railway applications. Between 2019 and 2023, he was a research fellow at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Management (INEGI) in Porto, Portugal, where he investigated the fatigue behavior of metallic additive manufacturing components. During his doctoral studies, Felipe specialized in high-cycle and ultra-high cycle fatigue behavior of Inconel 625 produced by directed energy deposition. His research included both experimental and numerical analyses, analyzing the fatigue phenomena in advanced manufacturing processes. Felipe's expertise encompasses finite element analysis, fatigue assessment, and vibration analysis, with a particular interest in metallic additive manufacturing and its applications in engineering. His research topics mainly include: Fatigue Behavior; Metallic Additive Manufacturing; High-Cycle Fatigue (HCF); Ultra-High Cycle Fatigue (UHCF); Vibration Analysis.
