I studied engineering in the national university, the Universidad Autonoma, in San Ildefonso. There is art everywhere, murals on the walls. It's beautiful.

I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and from an early age was interested in technology and engineering.

My graduate studies were carried out at the California Institute of Technology.

In particular, I studied German and Russian biomechanics.

I received my undergraduate degree in engineering in 1939 and a Master of Science degree in mathematical physics in 1941 at Steven Institute of Technology.

I studied political science at the Ecole de Sciences Politiques in Paris.

As you may know, I am a mechanical engineer.

I have studied at the school of the world.

I studied secondary education.

Fascinated by history during my secondary education, then by physics and mechanics at the Ecole Polytechnique, I finally entered the national administration of mines in 1936.
