Leonardo grew up in Brazil and began working with robots and automation systems while attending a technical high school there. He maintained his involvement in the automation area while attending college, after which he gained industry exposure and hands-on experience with robots and automated machines while working for Fanuc America Corporation in the United States. His interests in research and development of new technologies, however, took him back to school, and Leonardo started graduate studies in 2001. He joined the CRIM in 2002, where he has worked in several multi-disciplinary projects in the areas of bio-robotics, medical robotics, e-textiles, evolutionary robotics, instrumentation, and acoustics. Leonardo is a member of the IEEE, IEEE RAS, and Eta Kappa Nu (HKN). He is certified as Engineering Intern (E.I.) by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) since 2003.
