Samuel de Oliveira joined Florida Polytechnic University as a laboratory technician
in 2019. He graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2018 and subsequently
completed a second internship at the National Institute of Standards and Technology,
researching polymer degradation in solar panels. He also was a project manager at
Phoslab Environmental. He previously worked as a teaching assistant at UCF for two
semesters, and as a lab assistant at Polk State College for 17 months. During his
last two years as an undergraduate, he was a research assistant for UCF’s mechanical
and aerospace department and contributed in the investigation of ceramics for energy
applications. That research led to the publication of eight papers pertaining to porous
media combustion and Raman spectroscopy, in which he was a co-author.
