I'm an Animation Professor at LUCA School of Arts, campus C-mine in Genk, Belgium. I teach at the Re:Anima Joint Master in Animation and I'm a senior researcher at the Inter-Actions Research Unit. My research interests include philosophy of Technics, power relations inscribed in and reinforced by technical objects, and decolonial perspectives in animation.

I'm also a free software advocate, animator, rigger and I also like to code. You can see some of my works and know a bit more about me at:

2009-Apr-28: Blender tutorial on 3D World (Brazilian Edition)

It is available on magazine stores and at Editora Europa's website the first Brazilian edition of 3D World magazine.

It features a tutorial I wrote on how to use Blender's Fluid Simulation tools to achieve a "splash" effect, commonly used in advertising. I also did the translation of the other tools' tutorials to Portuguese.

It was a very pleasant experience, and I hope I can take part on the next issues. :)
