He holds a B.Sc. (2003) and an M.Sc. (2005) in Physics from the University of Brasília, and a Ph.D. (2010) in Physics from the University of São Paulo. He is currently an Assistant Professor at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), where he serves as Vice-Coordinator of the Graduate Program in Physics (2022present). His research focuses on Condensed Matter Physics, with an emphasis on computational simulations of structural, electronic, optical, and transport properties in nanostructured materials. He develops and applies methods based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) and tight-binding (TB) to study two-dimensional materials, halide perovskites, semiconductor alloys, and transition-metal compounds. He currently leads the SABIM research group (link), which is dedicated to the theoretical modeling of materials for emerging energy technologies. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

A typical solar cell consists of a multilayer stack where in the absorber layer the light energy is converted into electrical energy. This process is determined not only by the intrinsic properties of the material, but also to a large extent by the presence of (point) defects (including impurities), such as, for example, an atom sitting at the wrong lattice site. Low-dimensional materials…
The study of defects in crystalline materials is fundamental to understanding and engineering their electronic and optical properties. In three-dimensional (3D) systems, defects such as vacancies, interstitials, and dislocations are well understood and play a central role in developing technologies such as semiconductors, quantum materials, and radiation-resistant materials. However, in t…
Currently, there is a demand for new clean and renewable energy sources to sustainably restructure our energy matrix. In this context, this research project aims to explore the potential of antiperovskites (APVKs) as promising materials for energy conversion and storage. The structure of APVKs is analogous to the widely studied perovskites (PVKs), as both are (ideally) crystals with a cub…
