Summary
Leonardo Baruffaldi is a mechanical engineering professor based in São Paulo with over a decade of experience bridging academic research and industrial practice in multibody dynamics, computational contact mechanics, and finite element analysis. He progressed from CAE roles at Engbras and Schaeffler into academia, where he has taught and advanced research since 2015 while completing an MS and a later PhD at Universidade Estadual de Campinas. His background combines hands-on structural FEA and R&D on electromagnetic transformers with deep theoretical work on dynamics of mechanical systems, enabling practical solutions grounded in rigorous modeling. Known for translating complex simulations into teachable insights, he brings both industry-grade CAD/CAE workflows and scholarly rigor to problem solving.
