Curriculum Vitae

Goncalo Silva

Gonçalo Silva holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, awarded with distinction in 2013, and a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the same institution, completed in 2006. Since February 2026, he has held a tenured appointment as Assistant Professor at the University of Évora, where he is also affiliated with IDMEC, the Institute of Mechanical Engineering. His research focuses on computational fluid dynamics, lattice Boltzmann methods, microfluidics, and rarefied-gas flows. He co-authored the reference textbook The Lattice Boltzmann Method: Principles and Practice (Springer, 2017) and has published more than 40 articles in international peer-reviewed journals, in addition to delivering over 20 oral presentations at international conferences. He previously held an FCT doctoral fellowship, a postdoctoral research position at INRA in France funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche, and an FCT postdoctoral fellowship at LAETA. He has supervised eight MSc dissertations, served as examiner in six PhD and more than fifteen MSc thesis defences, and taught at both the University of Évora and Instituto Superior Técnico. He is currently the principal investigator of an FCT-funded project on gaseous microfluidic flows in Knudsen pumps.
