Alberto Luiz Galvão Coimbra was a pioneering Brazilian engineer, researcher, and university professor born on August 30, 1923, in Rio de Janeiro. He founded COPPE-UFRJ, Brazil's first graduate program in engineering, significantly transforming engineering education in Brazil to focus on research rather than just market needs. His advocacy for independent science led to conflicts with Brazil's military dictatorship, resulting in his detention and humiliation by authorities. He faced restrictions on leadership roles from 1973 until his rehabilitation in 1981, exemplifying his commitment to academic freedom.
