My transfer to the Physics Department at Universidade Federal de Pernambuco has just been published in Diário Oficial da União. We have spent six years at the Physics Department of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, where I made…

This week we are at The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics to deliver an invited talk at the Conference on Nanophononics, Bridging Statistical Physics, Molecular Modeling and Experiments. My talk “Phonon transport in graphene-BN superlattices: Coherence and localization” will focus…

The Autumn Meeting of the Brazilian Physical Society (previously the Brazilian Condensed Matter Physics Meeting) is the largest Physics meeting in Brazil, gathering  nearly 1,000 researchers from Brazil and abroad. In 2019, the event takes place in Aracaju, Sergipe, from 26 to…

Scientific Reports, an online, multidisciplinary, open access journal from the publishers of Nature (Springer Nature Publishing) has released a list of their most highly accessed physics articles in 2018 (#SREPTop100). The list is based on nature.com web analytics, covering accesses from January to December…

This week I am presenting a Colloquium at the Institute of Physics (IFGW) at UNICAMP, the top ranking research university in Latin America. It is a great honour for me and I thank my host, Prof. Alexandre F. Fonseca, for…

We just got news I have been elected Affiliated Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC). This is a 5-year membership for Brazilian scientists under 40 years of age, recognizing young researchers of notable talent. My term in the ABC…

I have been invited to give a presentation on thermal transport in nanostructures at the Workshop Transport Phenomena and Non-Equilibrium Processes, which takes place at Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento in Buenos Aires, on 23 and 24 May. The workshop…

Our third paper of 2018 “Thermal conductivity of graphene-hBN superlattice ribbons”  has just been published in Scientific Reports, a publication of the Nature Publishing Group. In this work we investigate coherent (wave-like) and incoherent (particle-like) phonon thermal transport in superlattices graphene and…

Our second paper of 2018 “Borophene hydride: a stiff 2D material with high thermal conductivity and attractive optical and electronic properties”  has just been accepted for publication in Nanoscale, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry. In this work we…
