He was an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Electrical-Electronical Technology (DTEE) at the Federal Center of Technological Education in Bahia, CEFET-BA, Salvador, Brazil from 2006 to 2009, where he was a member of the Assessor Committee for Science and Technology (CACT), Permanent Commission of Docent People Evaluation (CPPD) and member of the Council of Teaching Research and Extension (CONSEPE) as well as Institutional Coordinator at CEFET-BA of the Program of Development and Technological Research Scholarships (PIBITI). He was also the leader of the Signals and Systems Research Group (GPSS), and hi is the leader of the Communication Systems Research Group (GPSC).

Currently he is an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering (DEE) at the Federal University of Bahia, UFBA, Salvador, since 2009, where he was the Vice-Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering, vice-coordinator of the Graduate School of Electrical Engineering. He was also the leader of the Institutional Scientific Initiation Scholarship Program at the Engineering School and he is also the leader of the Transmission and Information Processing Research Group.

His current research interest includes numerical methods such as the finite element and the finite difference methods for modal and propagation analysis of electromagnetic fields in conventional and photonic crystal integrated optics waveguides, metallo-dielectric nanostructures and metamaterials, integrated optics and optical fibers as well as free space propagation. He also research evolutionary computing for microwave and optical devices design and Computer assisted learning and education.

He is author and co-author of 16 papers in international journals, 01 chapter of book and more than 100 papers in national and international conferences.
