I run a quantum information science and technology research group at UFABC, a brand new university in São Paulo metropolitan area, known as ABC region in Brazil. I obtained my PhD in Physics from UFSCar (São Carlos, Brazil) and performed postdoctoral research at Imperial College London (UK). I was an associate member of the ICTP in Trieste (Italy). Currently, I hold also an appointment as a Royal Society ‘Newton Advanced Fellow’ at the University of York (UK). My research interest is quite broad concerning quantum mechanics and its implications for information science or vice-versa. Such interest also embraces the under-building quantum thermodynamics. I am involved with both theoretical and experimental research. I have a penchant for the exciting challenge of translating abstract theoretical ideas into a laboratory setting.
