Frederico Fiúza

I am a Professor of Physics at the Physics Department of Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal.

My research interests are in the fields of plasma physics, plasma astrophysics, and high-energy-density physics. I am currently investigating different topics related to particle acceleration in both high-energy astrophysical and laboratory plasmas, intense laser-plasma interactions, and inertial confinement fusion. I am also interested in the application of machine learning to accelerate the development of multi-scale numerical tools in the physical sciences. My research methodology combines plasma theory, large-scale numerical simulations, and laboratory experiments.

I lead a research team on High-Energy-Density Physics and Plasma Astrophysics at the Group of Lasers and Plasmas. Find out more about our research here.
