What’s been happening:

Since my official retirement from the Rio de Janeiro University (UFRJ), I had been at COPPE (Coordination of Graduate Programs in Engineering/UFRJ), with only graduate teaching, and research. In 2003, I closed my laboratory and office at COPPE, and have been working a lot, associated to some of my ex-M.Sc. and D.Sc. students, as Consultant, presenting at invited conferences, organizations of scientific meetings, and similar other ones.
