( Versão em Português)

I graduated from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ) with specializations in Lasers and superconductivity and I did my doctoral research in ultrafast lasers at the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute at the University of São Paulo (IPEN). I am a tenured scientist at the Center for Lasers and Applications at IPEN where I completed the supervisions of nine postdocs, more than thirty master students and eight doctor theses.

My research group has accumulated over 20 years of experience in the field of diode pumped solid state lasers where we have obtained several patents and numerous publications in high-index journals. The vast experience is also reflected in a large number of invited talks and ordinary contributions to conferences as well as the organization of national and international conferences, workshops and graduate summer schools.

I have managed science through high volume research projects and also held several high institutional responsibilities such as director of the Center for Lasers and Applications (CLA) and president of the science foundation FAFITPE.
