Presentation

I am an Associate Professor of the Department of Physics at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST)  and a researcher at the Center of Physics and Center of Physics and Engineering of Advanced Materials (CeFEMA), associated with the Laboratory of Physics for Materials and Emerging Technologies (LaPMET).

I coordinate the q.m@t team at CeFEMA-IST and I am a founding member and one of the coordinators of the QM@PT research network.

Research

My research interests lie at the intersection of condensed matter physics and quantum information, with a particular focus on many-body strong-correlation effects and non-equilibrium processes in open quantum systems.

Short Bio 

Prior to my current appointment at IST, I held an Investigator FCT (Researcher) - Starting Grant (2014-2019) and was an invited Professor at the Physics Department of IST (2014-2019). Before that, I was a research fellow at the Russian Quantum Center (RQC), Moscow (2014-2015). I have held postdoctoral positions at the Condensed Matter Theory Group of MIT, Cambridge, USA (2009-2010), Centro de Física das Interacções Fundamentais - CFIF, IST, Lisbon (2010-2011), and the Max Planck Institute - PKS, Dresden (2011-2013). I earned my PhD in 2008 from University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris-VI and my Master’s in Physics Engineering from IST (2004).
