Graduated with a degree in Physics from Universidade Estadual de Campinas (2001), also obtained his Master's of Physics from Universidade Estadual de Campinas (2002) working at the National Synchrotron Facility (LNLS). Got his Ph.D. from Trinity College Dublin (2006) . During 2007, he was a post-doctoral research fellow at the Materials Department at the Physics Insitute of Universidade de São Paulo. Since 2008, has been at Universidade Federal do ABC, first as a visiting professor and then as an Adjunct Professor. From July 2009 to February 2010 actied as Dean of Research at Universidade Federal do ABC. Was elected a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences in 2008, for the period 2009-2013. In 2014 was selected as a Simmons Associate of the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP-Trieste), a position to be held until 2020. In 2019 he was elected an Associate member of the Academy of Sciences of the Estate of São Paulo (ACIESP) and also in the same year, an associate member of The World Academy of Science (TWAS). Has experience in Physics, focusing on Electronic Structure Calculations and Smiluations of electronic transport properties of nanoscopic devices. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Throughout the world, institutes for theoretical physics are an important tool for developing high-quality fundamental research. The International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), in collaboration with the State University of Sao Paulo (UNESP), created in 2011 the ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research located in the IFT-UNESP building in the city of Sao Paulo. The n…
This project describes the application plan for the Technical Reserve funds of institutional infrastructure costs which will be used for research developed at the Instituto de Fisica Teorica of UNESP throughout the next five years. (AU)
Research in the field of Materials Science has advanced enormously in recent years, from an essentially applied, engineering-related approach to a position where it has great impact in other areas, including Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. This is mostly due to the advancement of theoretical and experimental techniques that have allowed us to probe, and interact with matter at the atomic…
The present proposal aims to investigate the electronic, optical and vibrational properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials. We will focus on materials and properties which are relevant for photovoltaic applications. Understanding the optical absorption of these materials in the presence of sun light is crucial to a better understanding of the physical processes relevant to solar energy…

Perovskite Solar Cells (PSC) based on hybrid organometallic halide perovskites are currently the most promising technologies for photovoltaics, mainly owing to the unprecedented growth in power conversion efficiency. These materials present excellent sunlight absorption, and good mobility and lifetime of charge carriers. However, the production in industrial scale of these PSC has importa…
Understanding the water-solid interface system at an atomic level is important in many systems, including the photocatalysis problem, electrocatalysts for fuel cells, corrosion-resistant surfaces, among others. The water/metal interface is the electrochemical central point and the water molecules chemisorbed at the metal surface affect the electronic structure of the metal slab. Therefore…
At the interfaces formed by two contacted materials (donor and acceptor) interesting phenomena with a big number of applications for designing optoelectronic devices take place. This is the operating principle of organic photovoltaic cells (OPCs) which have attracted much attention due to its low-cost of fabrication and clean conversion of light. The efficiency and viability of OPCs depen…

Our constant drive for the miniaturization of electronic devices, introduces both the perspective of new technologies and raises a number of important questions from the point of view of basic science. At the nanoscopic scale these systems behave in a fundamentally different manner and require a deeper understanding from a experimental as well as theoretical point of view. Graphene, a tw…
Temperature effects play an important role on the performance of optoelectronic devices since they induce significant changes in the electronic and optical properties of different materials. Although there is a significant understanding of these phenomena on conventional semiconductors such as silicon and III-V alloys, the role played by the electron-phonon interaction on the photo excite…
