Research Areas
The Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering (PPG-EM) at UNIFEI currently offers two main areas of concentration, each encompassing multiple research lines.

These areas and their respective research lines are carefully structured to ensure consistency and coherence, providing a solid foundation for master’s and doctoral research projects across a wide range of topics.
The program maintains a well-balanced distribution of students, faculty members, and financial resources across its research areas. Currently, the Technology and Functional Materials (TMF) area has 11 faculty members, while the Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Processes (PMP) area has 9. This balance fosters a diverse, dynamic, and high-quality research environment, supporting students in developing innovative and impactful work.
