Full Professor of the Institute of Physics, University of São Paulo. Director of the Institute of Physics (08/19-08/23). Member of the USP Budget Committee (11/21 - 08/23). President of the USP Budget Committee 8/22 to 3/23. Bachelor in Physics (1977) at USP, Master in Nuclear Physics (1983) and Doctor in Sciences (1991), from USP. Post-Doctorate in materials science and magnetic thin films at the IBM-Almaden Research Center, in the USA (1994-1996). From 1979-1990 developed research on air pollution and atmospheric aerosols with the installation of the PIXE Method of Elemental Analysis at IFUSP. Collaborated (2008-2009) with the Laboratory for Aerosols, Clouds and Optics, LACO, at UMBC-USA, on experimental studies on the interaction of aerosols and water vapor. Coordinator of LAMFI (Laboratory of Materials and Ionic Beams) at IFUSP (1996-2020). His current and main research interest is the interaction of energetic ions (~MeV) in matter, measurements of stopping power, scattering cross sections and applications for the modification and the analysis of materials (PIXE, ERDA, RBS). Development of portable instrumentation for XRF and XRD and its application in arteometry and archeology. He is a member of the Applied Physics with Accelerators Group, GFAA.

The Project for the utilization of the Reserva Tecnica Institucional 2017/18 for the IFUSP was designed for a 5-year period, with annual updating. The budget for the first year will be used to update and improve the Computing Center, the Central Workshop, and the Cryogenic Center. We also want to be able to invite outsatnding international physicists to talk to our faculty and students, i…
Combining a conventional rotating anode Cu X-ray source and assembling a single X-ray detector on a computer controlled XY stage, a proxy of an imaging X-ray detector was constructed for the measurement of simultaneous EDXRD (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Diffraction) and EDXRF (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence) of the same spot of a sample. The main advantages of this setup are the virtual…
The study of energy loss of ions in materials (stopping power) is an important subject in physics, either fundamental or applied physics. Although much has already been done, there are still many open questions in the theoretical models, and lack of experimental data to verify and compare with existing models over a wider range of elements and beam energies. This work aims the development…
This study is the continuation and extension of a former investigation done by the author and proposes the use of trace elements in blood serum analyzed by PIXE and IC-MS to establish possible correlations for early diagnosis of melanoma. For comparison, it will also establish trace element reference levels for healthy patients, in a regular case control study. The structure of the serum …
