Biographie
Die Modelle von Dr. de Sousa haben eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Weiterentwicklung mehrerer wichtiger Technologien gespielt, darunter die Unterstützung bei der Entwicklung des Supraleiterkabels SuperLink, die Analyse kritischer Komponenten des 380-kV-Supraleitenden Strombegrenzers (SFCL) sowie die Mitwirkung am Entwurf eines 15-MVA Supraleitenden Transformators.
Zusätzlich zu seinen Forschungsaufgaben ist Dr. de Sousa assoziierter Herausgeber der IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity (IEEE TASC) und ehemaliges Mitglied der HTS Modeling Workgroup, einer internationalen Gruppe, die sich auf die Modellierung von Hochtemperatursupraleitern konzentriert. Seit 2021 ist er zudem aktives Vorstandsmitglied der COST Action 19108 „Hochtemperatursupraleitung zur Beschleunigung des Energiewandels“.
Darüber hinaus fungiert Dr. de Sousa als Vorsitzender des „Large Scale Track“ des Internationalen Wissenschaftlichen Programmkomitees für die EUCAS 2025. Er spielt auch eine Schlüsselrolle in der Arbeitsgruppe CIGRE WG B4-A3.86, die sich auf Kurzschlussstrombegrenzungstechnologien für Gleichstromnetze konzentriert. Dr. de Sousa ist aktiv in der Publikationswelt tätig und arbeitet als Technischer Redakteur im Publikationsausschuss der Internationalen Magnettechnologiekonferenz (MT), der Europäischen Konferenz für Angewandte Supraleitung (EUCAS) und der Konferenz für Angewandte Supraleitung (ASC).
Während seiner Doktorandenzeit am ITEP/KIT erhielt er Unterstützung vom Elektrizitätsforschungszentrum (CEPEL/ELETROBRAS), dem Nationalen Rat für Wissenschaftliche und Technologische Entwicklung (CNPq) und dem Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienst (DAAD). Zwischen 2015 und 2016 war er stellvertretender Koordinator und Postdoktorand am Labor für Angewandte Supraleitung (LASUP/UFRJ) in Brasilien. Von 2016 bis 2018 war er Dozent an der Carl Benz School of Engineering (CBS) in Karlsruhe.
