Renato is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Manitoba, where he merges engineering, philosophy, and education to research the social influences and impacts of technology, exploring the intersection of society and engineering. Renato sees education as a too transformative tool and has been involved for almost 6 years in teaching professionalism, communication, ethics, and critical thinking in engineering. His goal is to expand the perspectives about technology so people are able to purposefully develop, maintain, and use technologies that support more sustainable and just societies.
