Brief of my Journey

Last version: 30 November 2024

COVERLETTER

Dear HR´s Manager,I am Jonas Gomes, a Brazilian residing in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. It is a pleasure to meet you. Please let me make a brief presentation about myself.1) My mission is to disseminate knowledge and build a positive legacy that benefits humanity and the planet. I operate at the intersection of academia and real-world impact, driven by a passion for applying knowledge to improve the performance of organisations and communities.2) My graduation, postgraduation, master's, and doctoral studies are related to Mechanical and Production Engineering, while my postdoctoral research focused on Smart Cities and Decarbonisation, which are related to Sustainability, Environmental Engineering and Energy themes. 3) I have held positions at Gillette da Amazônia SA, the Foundation Center for Analysis, Research and Technological Innovation (Fucapi), the Amazonas State Department of Science and Technology (SECT-AM), the Amazonas State Research Support Foundation (FAPEAM), the University of the State of Amazonas, and I am currently an associate professor at the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM).4) As a university professor, I have dedicated over 16,749 hours to communication, teaching (quality management, entrepreneurship, strategic planning, charitable projects, etc.), and mentoring, shaping the minds and behaviors of future Brazilian leaders. All my classes are digital, based on the ARETE method (Aprender, Refletir, Explorar, Transformar, and Evoluir) that I created, which focuses on developing the correct attitudes to help students achieve academic excellence. Additionally, I apply Paulo Freire's Methods, QM tools, and Project approaches to challenge students to apply their knowledge to real-world problems, as you can see on my homepage, www.jgsilva.org, under the "Teaching" option.5) To contribute to society, I actively engage in social issues through 28 years of volunteering experience, from which, seven years facing poverty in Amazon, serving as President, Finance Director, and Project Manager. I have gained substantial fundraising and relationship management experience, founding two organizations and spearheading projects with more than 50 partners. These projects have provided participatory diagnostics, courses, training, lectures, games, events, reading stimulation, recycling, and more, contributing to the plantation of 1,000 trees and benefiting the lives of 5,291 individuals (including small entrepreneurs) in the Amazon. These initiatives have been recognised by Brazilian Government Agencies, JICA, the USA Embassy in Brazil, and were supported by BrazilFoundation, Brazilian Bank Foundation, InterAmerican Foundation, the Brazilian Ministry of Culture, and Telecommunication.6) In my efforts to disseminate information to society, I've contributed through various mediums: 420 newspaper articles, 36 scientific articles, a book, and participation in numerous events.7) Regarding grants for research, my journey began in 1997 with a scholarship from the Japanese Government, facilitating interaction with 227 Japanese and 118 Brazilian companies for extensive surveys, leading to the completion of my Master's and PhD. In 2004, I received another scholarship from FAPEAM, enabling collaboration with 77 companies within the Manaus Industrial Pole and 13 metrology service providers. Unfortunately, within the Amazon region, researchers face significant financial constraints, limiting their ability to conduct groundbreaking research and publish in esteemed journals. Consequently, much of my work has been self-funded, reflecting the challenging landscape for scientific advancement in our region.8) International engagements have broadened my global perspectives through four sponsored exchanges by prestigious organisations such as the Japanese Government's MEXT and MOFA, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, the U.S. Department of State - Bureau of Education. The latest exchange in 2022 facilitated meaningful dialogues with Japanese experts, focusing on cutting-edge policies and technologies related to Society 5.0 and Net0, detailed in this e-report <http://tinyurl.com/5am3sz8a>, which I believe could be valuable for organizations.9) Aside from academic and professional roles, I actively contribute to various organisations and journals. I volunteer and serve as a columnist at the Jornal do Comércio do Amazonas, contributing weekly on interdisciplinary topics to popularise knowledge for society. I also serve as Nominator of Earthshot Prize led by Prince Willian, Social Director of AMEOJAPÂO, an ad hoc consultant for FAPEAM, a reviewer for the Foresight Journal and the PEERJ Journal, and I am member of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), ABEPRO, the Internet Society, MIT Sloan Management Review, Smart Cities World, Smart City Institute Japan, CoP I NetZeroCities' Community of Practice and the WEF (Digital Member). 10) I have held leadership positions in both third-sector and public organizations, drawing upon total quality management methodologies and tools acquired in Japan to facilitate participatory diagnostics, strategic planning, project execution, and event coordination within the Amazon Region.Thank you for your attention and more information about me is available on www.jgsilva.org. Sincerely yours, Jonas G. da Silva.

Projects themes

Let me introduce you to my latest research proposals that I am trying to get fund in order to implement them over time. During my tenure as a Visiting Researcher (Post-Doctorate) at the University of Manchester in March 2020, I had the opportunity to embark on a project at AMBS/MIOIR titled "Best UK Universities Management Practices to Foster Local Entrepreneurship and Innovation." However, the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic hindered its implementation, leading to my return to Brazil in November 2020. Therefore, I updated it and proposed a new project "UK Universities: Advancing Decarbonization Through Entrepreneurship & Innovation," to Oxford University to explore the most effective management practices commonly employed by top UK universities to promote local entrepreneurship and innovation in support of decarbonization initiatives. The ultimate goal is to propose a model to assist other universities in achieving similar objectives in the long term. From April to August 2023, I resumed my research at the University of Manchester with a project titled CITIZENET0, aimed at identifying approaches employed by leading European smart and sustainable cities to engage citizens in achieving decarbonization by 2030. However, due to time constraints imposed by my university and a lack of financial support to engage with government policymakers and target audiences, I was unable to complete it. Therefore, I hope to continue and later evolve CITIZENET0 into a new project called POLICIESEUROSCANET0, focusing on Policies and Initiatives Implemented by Leading European Smart and Sustainable Cities to Achieve Net Zero Over Time.Lastly, I dream to implement a more ambitious and long-term project titled AMAZONET02050 aims to propose a model and projects to decarbonize the Brazilian Amazon Region by 2050. All these projects are aligned with the world's efforts to face climate crises toward decarbonization by 2050. I have devoted over 16,749 hours to communication, teaching, and mentoring, shaping the minds and behaviors of future Brazilian leaders. My teaching interests focus on areas such as Total Quality Management, Strategic Planning, Social Innovation, and Sustainability, including topics like Smart Cities, Sustainable Cities, and Net Zero initiatives.You can explore my teaching platform and materials at www.jgsilva.org under the "Teaching" section.Thank you very much, Sincerely yours, Prof. Jonas Gomes da Silva.
