He was a post-doctoral fellow at the Industrial Engineering and Management System Department, University of Central Florida, USA. He has been invited to give lectures and courses in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, USA, Portugal, South Africa, and The Netherlands. Dr. Soares is Professional Certified Ergonomist from the Brazilian Ergonomics Association, for which he was president for seven years. He has provided leadership in ergonomics in Latin America and the world as a member of the Executive Committee of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA). Dr. Soares served as Chairman of IEA 2012 (the Triennial Congresses of the International Ergonomics Association), held in Brazil. Professor Soares is currently a member of the editorial boards of Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science, Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing, and several journal publications in Brazil. He has about 50 papers published in journals, over 190 conference proceedings papers, and 110 books and book chapters. In addition, he has undertaken research and consultancy work for several companies in Brazil. His research, teaching, and consulting activities focus on manufacturing ergonomics, product ergonomics, usability engineering, consumer product design, information ergonomics, and virtual reality and neuroscience applications in products and systems. He also studies user emotions when using products and techniques in real and virtual environments based on biofeedback (electroencephalography and infrared thermography).
