He holds a degree in Physics (Laurea) from Università di Roma La Sapienza (1989) and a PhD in Physics from New York University (1996). Since 2003, he is a professor at the Institute of Physics of São Carlos-USP, where he is currently associate professor. He was a visiting researcher at the University of Bielefeld (Germany, 1997), the University of Adelaide (Australia, 2000), the University of Ghent (Belgium, 2011) and the University of Paris-Sud (France, 2016 and 2017). He has 111 publications with over 4500 citations (in the inSPIRE-HEP database). He has experience in Physics, with an emphasis on General Theory of Particles and Fields, working mainly in Lattice Gauge Theories, non-perturbative QCD, Monte Carlo Simulations and High-Performance Computing. He was included in the World's Top 2 Most Influential Scientists lists (https://elsevier.digitalcommonsdata.com/datasets/btchxktzyw/7; lists from the years 2017-2023), considering his entire career.

The purpose of the project is to study the high-energy (Ge V ~ Te V) hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions, in order to clarify: a) the nature and properties of the nuclear matter, its forms of excitation and its new state under high-density and high-temperature conditions, the quark-gluon plasma; and b) the quark-gluon confinement in hadrons, interactions of the …

Particle Physics studies the fundamental constituents of matter and the interactions among them, using experimental data obtained with particle accelerators and cosmic rays. From a theoretical point of view, matter and fundamental interactions are described by Quantum Field Theories. In particular, the interactions of the Standard Model are explained through the exchange of mediating part…
The quantum world is granulated by the Planck constant. In accordance with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, the classical vacuum is modified by quantum fluctuations. These fluctuations may be interpreted as creation of virtual pairs of particles and antiparticles. Virtual particles cannot be directly observed, but their effects are fundamental for the understanding of the properties of…
The present application refers to a five-month internship to be carried out at the Theoretical Physics Laboratory of the University Paris-Sud XI (Orsay, France), in the first half of 2017. The main objective of the proposed project is the simultaneous numerical study of all the propagators and vertices of the QCD Lagrangian, i.e. the gluon, ghost and quark propagators, the ghost-gluon, qu…
