Ph.D. in Physics Applied to Medicine and Biology (2015) and B.Sc. in Medical Physics (2009) from the University of São Paulo. From 2013-2014, he developed part of his Ph.D. research at Harvard University, receiving support from the Lemann Fellowship program to work with the production of core-shell nanoparticles for ionizing radiation dosimetry by Optically Stimulated Luminescence and Scintillation. In 2016, he received the Young Scientist Award from the International Solid State Dosimetry Organization and Honorable Mentions in the Best Thesis Awards from the Brazilian Society of Physics and the Brazilian Federal Agency for Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). From 2016-2017, he held a postdoctoral position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working with microfluidic systems for the controlled production of scintillating quantum dots. During this period, he was contemplated in the CAPES-USP Public Notice for a tenure-track faculty position at the Department of Physics from the University of São Paulo (USP). In 2022, he received the Fulbright Junior Faculty Member Award for working as Visiting Professor at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard Medical School. In the same year, he was selected for the Global Research Mentorship Program (GREMP) in Medical Physics of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM). Currently, he is a Professor at the Department of Physics-USP, teaching for the Bachelor of Medical Physics and the Graduate Program in Physics Applied to Medicine and Biology. In addition, he advises graduate students from the same program on the use of nanotechnology and its tools to understand and optimize the detection and delivery of ionizing radiation doses to enhance the radiotherapeutic ratio.

Hybrid core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) have potential applications in X-ray activated photodynamic therapy (X-PDT), where the drug is activated by X-rays due to the NP scintillation, combining radiotherapy (RT) and PDT into a single treatment. X-PDT offers the potential to reduce the dose of X-rays required to cause tumor cell death in RT, minimizing damage to healthy tissues surrounding t…
Nanoscience and nanotechnology are areas of great and still increasing interest in the last years. Hybrid nanoparticles are now attracting more and more investigation interest since they present peculiar optical features such as enhanced photoluminescence quantum yields. In Medical Physics, these nanoparticles are essential for the development of advanced radiation detectors, besides appl…
Scintillating nanoparticles (ScNPs) are considered promising due to their potential to be coupled with photosensitizers (PS) for use in X-ray-activated photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) and/or radionuclide-activated therapy. However, most PSs with high capacity for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation absorb light mainly in the blue region, and there are few ScNPs with high scintillation e…
Lanthanide-based nanoparticles have attracted much interest in research because they combine properties of different materials to meet specific needs in different applications. The luminescent emission, for example, can be adjusted by the doping process using different lanthanides. In this way, it is possible to build nanoparticles with suitable optical properties for each application. In…
Cancer is a pathology composed of a complex tissue society and its incidence has increased over the last years. In this sense, it is necessary to develop and/or improve treatments in order to reduce the amount of patients that come to death. Among the available cancer treatments, radiation therapy is one of the most used. Combined with radiotherapy, magnetic hyperthermia, which heats up t…
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) is the luminescence emitted by a material, insulating or semiconductor, during light exposure, previously exposed to ionizing radiation. OSL is, therefore, the base of ionizing radiation dosimetry in medical procedures such as radiotherapy and radiodiagnosis, in addition to personal dosimetry and radioprotection, replacing the traditional thermolumi…
