Marcos Vinicius Puydinger dos Santos

Since 2022, Marcos Vinicius Puydinger dos Santos has been a Professor in the Department of Electronics and Biomedical Engineering of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP). He is a CNPq Research Productivity Fellow (level 2). He holds a Bachelor's degree in Physics (2009) and a Bachelor's degree in Applied Physics (2012), a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (2013) and a PhD in Electrical Engineering (2017) from UNICAMP. Between 2015 and 2016, he completed his doctorate with a CNPq scholarship at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA), Switzerland. He later won the doctoral thesis competition of the Brazilian Society of Microelectronics (SBMicro) in 2018. He worked as a Physicist at the National Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) between 2009 and 2010 and as a Research Professional at the Materials and Low Temperatures Laboratory of the Gleb Wataghin Physics Institute of the State University of Campinas between 2010 and 2022, developing nanofabrication processes and characterization of magnetotransport in nanowire-based devices.The main theme of his research is the fabrication and characterization of metallic nanowires and nanoribbons and composites from techniques such as electrodeposition in nanoporous membranes, nanonucleation by metal flux, electron beam deposition (FEBID) and lithography techniques. He has experience in the area of Electrical Engineering with emphasis on Materials and Nanofabrication, presenting the following themes: strained semiconductors (emphasis on the giant piezoresistance of silicon), characterization of magnetoelectric transport in nanowires and nanoribbons, fabrication and characterization of metal-carbon nanocomposites by FEBID, mechanical tensioning in semiconductor nanowires, physical/chemical sensors based on MOS technology, study of magnetic thin films by magnetometry (SQUID), in addition to manufacturing processes in micro and nanoelectronics.
