Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRodrigo Da Silva is an R&D Mechanical Engineer with nine years of experience specializing in advanced composite materials and structural/thermal design for high-energy physics detectors at CERN. He combines hands-on materials characterization and structural analysis with academic roles—honorary positions at the University of Bristol and UFSJ—bridging fundamental research and teaching. His work spans the LHC, HL‑LHC and future FCC programmes, and he leads independent projects through the Umbrella Research Group to push novel, eco‑conscious composites for harsh and cryogenic environments. A PhD in Materials Science underpins a strong publication record and practical expertise in destructive and non‑destructive testing of metastructures and lightweight components. Based in Meyrin, Geneva, Rodrigo marries large-scale experimental engineering with pedagogical engagement, often supervising student projects and guest lecturing. He is equally comfortable translating lab breakthroughs into detector-ready solutions and mentoring the next generation of engineers.
