Fernando Antonio Nobrega Santos received his BSc. (Honors) and DSc. in Physics from the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil. He is currently a Research Fellow a the Dutch Institute for Emergent Phenomena (DIEP) and at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). He is also a visiting Fellow at the Department of Anatomy and Neurosciences at VUmc in Amsterdam. Before that, he was a Research Associate at the Multiscale Division of the Department of Anatomy and Neurosciences of the Amsterdam University Medical Center and an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics of the Federal University of Pernambuco in Recife, Brazil. He has also held visiting fellowships at the Wolfson Centre for Mathematical Biology, Oxford University, the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, and the Jean Lamour Institute, Lorraine University. His research integrates theoretical physics, applied mathematics, and data science, focusing on bridging results in computational topology, geometry, and statistical mechanics with network neuroscience and artificial intelligence. His current research aims to contribute to the understanding of the bridge between imaging and behavior.
