Biography:
Dr. Eduardo Divo is a graduate of the Central Technological University (UNITEC) in Valencia, Venezuela, where he obtained two technical degrees in Mechanics and Informatics and a Mechanical Engineering degree graduating top of the class with valedictorian honors among three hundred graduating students. He immediately joined his Alma Mater as an assistant professor while he also worked as the coordinator of special educational projects for talent search and merit scholarships from the national government. During this time he obtained a Statistical Control Analyst specialty degree from the Technological Institute of Higher Studies of Monterrey-Mexico (ITESM) in an industry-university exchange program between UNITEC, ITESM, and Ford Motor Company. Two years after graduation he obtained the 'Antonio Jose de Sucre' national order of merit, the highest honor conferred by the national government for undergraduate academic achievements. Immediately after, he joined the University of Central Florida (UCF) as a graduate student supported in full by the order of merit award. He completed Master in Science (M.S.) and Philosophy Doctorate (Ph.D.) degrees at UCF maintaining a perfect grade point average throughout his studies and obtained the Academic Excellence Award from the Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering Department (MMAE) at UCF. Immediately after, he joined the MMAE department as a research scientist, two years later as a visiting assistant professor, and two years later he joined the Engineering Technology Department (ENT) as an assistant professor keeping a joint appointment with the MMAE department. During this time he has been involved in teaching, service, and research duties and served as principal investigator, principal researcher, and consultant for a variety of research projects funded by NASA, Lockheed Martin, Siemens-Westinghouse, General Dynamics, Engineering Technology Incorporated, ZONA Technology, Dual Incorporated, Applied Technology Associates, Florida Space Grant Consortium, Florida Space Research Initiative, Florida I-4 High Tech Council, among others.
