Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Física (IF) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Costa Rica
Physicist with a Bachelor's degree from the Universidad de Costa Rica (Dec/2001), and a Masters (Mar/2004) and Ph.D. (Oct/2007) in Physics from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), with research conducted at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory and a sandwich period at Technische Universität Dortmund, Germany. Since February 2009, he has been a faculty member at the Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo (IFUSP), where he earned his Habilitation (Livre-Docência) in December 2018 and currently holds the position of Associate Professor (level 5.2) in the Department of Materials Physics. His research lies in experimental condensed matter physics, with emphasis on quantum materials, time-resolved optical spectroscopy in the infrared and with terahertz waves, and electronic transport. After his Ph.D, he held 24 visiting research and visiting professor positions at several leading institutions, including McGill University (Montreal), GHMFL-CNRS (Grenoble), IBM Research (Zurich), TU Dortmund, University of Michigan, and Rice University (Houston).

The terahertz band of the electromagnetic spectrum (1 THz ~ 4.1 meV) covers a range from 100 GHz (3 mm of wavelength) to 10 THz (30 µm). This technologically challenging area, situated between the realms of electronics and optics, remained unexplored until the emergence of affordable sources and the introduction of THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). Since then, THz-TDS has evolved in…
This Project is a continuation of previous Thematics (FAPESP Processes 99/10359-7, 07/50968-0 and 2015/16191-5) whose main purpose was to study the physical properties of new materials under the influence of intense magnetic fields and low temperatures. The Laboratory of New Semiconductor Materials (LNSM) and the Laboratory of Solid State and Low Temperatures (LSSLT) of the Department of …
Phonons, collective excitations of a crystalline lattice, determine many of the physical properties of solids, including electrical, thermal, and optical. By exciting or controlling particular phonon modes, one can modify material properties or even induce quantum effects such as superconductivity. In this project, we plan to study phonons through terahertz time domain spectroscopy in qua…
In recent years there has been a growing interest for materials where quantum effects manifest in a wide range of energies and scales. Such materials are called quantum materials and include superconductors, graphene, topological, semi-metallic Weyl insulation, quantum spin liquids, and spin gels. Many of the properties of these systems derive from their low dimensionality, in particular …

By exciting or controlling specific phonon modes, one can modify material properties, such as critical phase transition temperatures, or even induce quantum effects such as superconductivity.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in materials where quantum effects manifest across a wide range of energies and length scales. These materials, known as quantum materials, include superconductors, graphene, topological insulators, Weyl semimetals, quantum spin liquids, and spin ices. We plan to study the optical conductivity-that is, the conductivity as a function of the …

In recent years, the term quantum materials has emerged as a unifying concept in various fields of science and engineering, ranging from condensed matter physics and cold atoms to materials science and quantum computing. Quantum materials research focuses on phases of matter in which exclusively non-classical phenomena, such as quantum fluctuations, entanglement, and topological states, p…
