O PROGRAMA DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM FÍSICA convida para o seminário:

Opportunities, recent results, and my personal experience in large facilities
Dr. João Elias Figueiredo Soares Rodrigues
ALBA Synchrotron Light Source, Barcelona – Espanha

*Evento de presença obrigatória da disciplina seminários

Resumo:
In this seminar, I will briefly summarize what I have done so far in the European facilities concerning new materials for energy-recovery, unusual magnetic properties in perovskite materials, and coupling of different experimental techniques to build a complete scenario on the physical properties of a particular material. Currently, I have a post-doc scientific position at the beamline MSPD (Materials Science Powder Diffraction) of the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source (Barcelona, Spain). I have obtained a PhD degree in Applied Physics at University of São Paulo (2017), master degree (2012), and bachelor (2010) in Physics at Federal University of Maranhão. I was visiting postdoc fellow at the Instituto de Ciencias de Materiales de Madrid (2018-2020) at the Jose Antonio Alonso’s laboratory. From 2020-2023, I had a post-doc scientific position at the beamlines ID24/BM23 (High-brilliance X-ray absorption spectroscopy) of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF, Grenoble, FR). My research program is focused on high-pressure synthesis and characterization of novel energy materials for mainly thermoelectric applications. Other research activity in the field of high-pressure synthesis includes transition metal oxides with unusual electronic and magnetic properties. General research interest is in materials physics, including vibrational spectroscopy, electrical and magnetic characterization, and structural modeling. I am a frequent user of synchrotron and neutrons facilities (X-ray and neutron diffraction, X-ray absorption) applied to the determination of crystal and local atomic properties of different materials. I have more than 55 articles with more than 550 citations.

The Graduate Program in Physics of UFSC makes public the admission process’s call for the Master and PhD programs entrance at the semester 2024/1.

Applications can be submitted from November 9, 2023 until November 24, 2023 5 pm BRT. The PPGFSC uses the grade achieved in the Brazilian Unified Exam of Physics Graduate Courses (Exame Unificado de Pós-graduações em Física – EUF) for admission to the Master’s and Doctoral Programs. The PPGFSC regards the grade of the Brazilian Unified Exam of Physics Graduate Courses.

Professor Ivan Helmuth Bechtold, a full professor in the Physics department at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (FSC/UFSC), has been elected as the President of the Brazilian Materials Research Society (SBPMat) for the term spanning 2024-2025. Notably, this marks the first time that a leader from the southern region of Brazil has chaired SBPMat, as all previous presidents hailed from the Southeast.

SBPMat is an organization that unites researchers from diverse fields, including Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Health Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, and Engineering, who are engaged in studies focused on the practical applications of materials. The annual flagship event of SBPMat, known as the Brazilian Materials Research Society (B-MRS), typically draws around 1,500 participants from across Brazil and various other countries.
