Hugo Oliveira graduated in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Brasilia, where he also completed a M.Sc and a Ph.D. in Nonlinear Dynamics and Smart Materials. His efforts mainly consisted in analyzing the chaotic, quasiperiodic and periodic behavior of shape memory -based nonlinear mechanical systems through constitutive models and experiments. He also worked as a professional engineer in the Brazilian Government at the Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento (Conab), making projects for industrial elevators, gear reducers, and truck dumpers for grain storage facilities. Before joining Unibz, he also worked at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) as a lecturer with the disciplines of instrumentation and equipment for mechanical transportation.
