Manoel Leopoldino is a Civil Engineer graduated from Uversidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF-1989). He studied Economics Engineering at Faculdade Machado Sobrinho and at Fundação Getúlio Vargas( FGV-1991). He holds a Master's degree in Civil Engineering, in the area of Structures, from Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF -1995); He studied Petroleum Engineering at Petrobras University (2003) and holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering – Oil and Energy from Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio-2013), including a one-year technical internship at the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Rice University, in Houston ( 2010-11).

He worked as a Reservoir Engineer, focusing on offshore deepwater fields, for 17 years at Petrobras, Shell, PréSal Petróleo (PPSA) and PetroRio. He is currently at Eneva dedicated to the redevelopment of mature onshore fields. He has outstanding performance in the areas of management and simulation of reservoirs and reserves; in technological cooperation projects with companies and universities and in the coordination of multidisciplinary work groups.

He is also a professor of Reservoir Engineering and Reservoir Simulation at Universidade Veiga de Almeida, since 2014.
