[Rubens Rodrigues]

Who are you?

I’m Rubens Dias Rodrigues Junior, a Data Analytics leader and master’s student in Mechanical Engineering (Automation & Dynamic Systems). My research focuses on Digital Twins for Smart Cities.

What is your industry and profession?

CPG industry — I lead Data Analytics, working mainly on customer insights and fintech analytics.

Where do you plan to use your new Digital Twin knowledge? (Personally/professionally)

Primarily to deepen the theoretical and practical foundation for my master’s dissertation on Smart-City Digital Twins, and to translate those learnings into real, data-driven urban use cases.

Why have you decided to join the DTHub?

To learn from practitioners, access high-quality references, and get feedback as I develop my dissertation. I’m based in Brazil, where material on this topic is still limited, so the Hub is a great place to exchange knowledge and accelerate my work.

Have you participated in any of our meetups or events?

Not yet — looking forward to joining upcoming sessions.

Do you have any examples of work using Digital Twins?

I’m currently building early-stage prototypes aligned with smart-city scenarios (simulation-first, data governance and explainability baked in). Happy to share progress and compare notes with others tackling urban DTs.
