Rafael Corsi Ferrão

Rafael Corsi Ferrão serves as an Adjunct Professor at Insper Institute of Education and Research, specializing in engineering course development with expertise spanning aerospace and embedded systems.

His academic foundation includes:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (electronics emphasis) from Instituto Mauá de Tecnologia
• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from Escola Politécnica da USP

His research focuses on embedded electronics architecture, particularly microcontroller and FPGA implementations for mission-critical applications. This specialization manifests in aerospace engineering contributions including embedded systems development for European satellite camera testing (PLATO mission) and prototyping of cubesats with stringent real-time performance requirements. His work bridges theoretical electronics design with space-grade hardware validation under extreme operational constraints.

Professional activities center on critical system design where timing precision and fault tolerance are non-negotiable, evidenced by projects involving satellite instrumentation and nanosatellite subsystems.
