Bio
Evaldo Costa is an interdisciplinary researcher and professor.
Since Jul 2021 to Aug 2023, I have been actively involved in the Sus2Trans - Sustainable Transformative Transitions project. My work within this project focuses on reconciling the acceleration of low carbon transitions with system transformations, aiming to investigate decarbonization strategies that align with the Paris Agreement. The implementation of these strategies requires transformative changes across various sectors, including energy, mobility, and industry.
Starting from January 2020, I have held collaborative researcher positions at two esteemed institutions. Firstly, I am a researcher at UNICAMP in Brazil, working at the LEVE-Laboratório de Estudos do Veículo Elétrico, Instituto Geociências, Departamento de Política Científica e Tecnológica. Secondly, I am also associated with the Portuguese institution CENSE – Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research, which fosters interdisciplinary research in environmental sciences and engineering with a focus on promoting sustainable development.
Before embarking on my academic journey, I enjoyed a successful career as a top executive in a prominent industry segment in Brazil. During my tenure, I served as a professor and industry consultant, contributing my expertise to various endeavors in the field. Additionally, I had the privilege of holding prestigious positions such as president and director of some of Brazil's esteemed institutions. My contributions to crucial industry and energy sector projects in Brazil, particularly in the development of ethanol during the 1980s and 90s, were widely recognized.
Moving further back in my academic trajectory, I pursued double Ph.D. degrees in distinct fields. Firstly, I earned my Ph.D. in Climate Change and Sustainable Development Policies from NOVA School of Science and Technology of NOVA University of Lisbon (Portugal). Secondly, I completed a Ph.D. in Business Economics at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium. My research during this period was focused on the development of energy transition and the production of renewable sources, as well as promoting clean energy consumption.
During my Ph.D. candidacy at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of NOVA University of Lisbon (from Sep 2013 to Oct 2014), I conducted a study that involved designing a fleet of road vehicles with EV diffusion. This study not only analyzed the balance of CO2 emissions but also evaluated the positive impact on the country's economy resulting from the reduction in gasoline consumption. The outcomes of this research were presented at the IEEE international conference in Coimbra, Portugal, and subsequently published in the conference proceedings.
Continuing my research journey, I served as a guest researcher at the University of California, UC Davis, Institute of Transportation Studies, Plug-in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (PHEV) Research Centre from Nov 2014 to Oct 2015. During this period, my research delved into CO2 emissions of road vehicles and identified the best technology and policies to mitigate climate change while promoting the diffusion of EVs. I published two articles, one focusing on the main policies for EVs and another highlighting that EVs are approximately three and a half times more environmentally friendly than internal combustion vehicles.
From Nov 2015 to Oct 2016, I pursued a dual Ph.D. at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, where I conducted research at the MOBI / Mobility, Logistics, and Automotive Technology Research Center. My work focused on investigating EV infrastructure for São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The outcomes of this research were presented in an article that quantified the number of electric vehicle supply equipment required for the effective diffusion of EVs, along with pointing out new attributes relevant to the implementation of EV charging stations.
Subsequently, I worked as an associate researcher at FGV Energia in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from Nov 2016 to Mar 2017, co-authoring a report about EVs in Brazil.
From Apr 2017 to Sep 2017, I was a guest researcher at the University College Cork, Ireland, at The Environmental Research Institute. My research during this period focused on studying the infrastructure required for the diffusion of EVs. The results of this research were published in an article that quantified the number of electric vehicle supply equipment needed for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, while also identifying new attributes for the diffusion of EVs. I had the opportunity to present one study at the ITRN-2017 Irish conference and another study at IEEE international conferences in Belfort, France, with the outcomes published in conference proceedings.
From January 2018 to September 2019, the researcher pursued a Ph.D. candidacy at NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal.
