About

Dr. Fernando A. M. Marinho is an Associate Professor at the University of São Paulo (USP). He earned his degree in Civil Engineering from Pernambuco State University in 1983 and completed a Master’s degree at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in 1986. He obtained his Ph.D. from Imperial College London in 1994. From 2007 to 2008, he was a Visiting Professor at Arizona State University.

At USP, Dr. Marinho teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Civil and Mining Engineering, as well as in the Geosciences Institute. His research focuses on soil behavior, unsaturated soil mechanics, and the geotechnical characterization of mining tailings and ores. He coordinates the USP Research Group on Unsaturated Soils and is actively involved in studies related to the stability and environmental behavior of mining waste.

In addition to his academic work, Dr. Marinho serves as a consultant to government agencies and engineering companies in Brazil and abroad, contributing his expertise to projects involving geotechnical engineering and mining infrastructure.

Metrics description
h-index
A scientist has an h-index if h of his N publications are cited at least h times each, while the remaining (N - h) publications are cited no more than h times each.
i10-index
The number of the author's publications that received at least 10 links each.
m-index
The researcher's m-index is numerically equal to the ratio of his h-index to the number of years that have passed since the first publication.
o-index
The geometric mean of the h-index and the number of citations of the most cited article of the scientist.
g-index
For a given set of articles, sorted in descending order of the number of citations that these articles received, the g-index is the largest number such that the g most cited articles received (in total) at least g2 citations.
w-index
If w articles of a researcher have at least 10w citations each and other publications are less than 10(w+1) citations, then the researcher's w-index is equal to w.
