Rafaela obtained her bachelor\u2019s degree in Materials Engineering at the Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Her previous research experience consists of working with rare earth oxides in a ceramic matrix using the sol-gel synthesis technique. Her previous work with TRIP Steel heat treatments at Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais involved analyzing the microstructural evolution mechanisms involved in the formation of bainite. Her industrial experience includes using finite element methods in the development of a conveyor pulley sizing software for FNTC. Her current research efforts involve the development of transparent armour materials at 杏吧原创 University, focusing on using additives to alter the micro-behaviour of the polymeric materials under high-strain-rate loading conditions. She is co-supervised by Prof. Ron Miller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"people-type":[21],"yoast_head":"\n
