Márcio graduated in 1997 with a degree in Electronic Engineering from the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil. In 2004, he received a PhD in Physics for his research on the nonlinear optical effects of organic liquids and nanostructured materials, supervised by Prof. Dr. Cid Bartolomeu de Araújo. In 2006, he became an associate professor at the Physics Institute of Universidade Federal de Alagoas (Brazil) and joined the research staff of the Optics and Materials Group (OPTMA). In 2013, he moved to Universidade Federal de Sergipe (UFS), Brazil and became the co-leader of the newly-founded Optics Group. Currently, he is titular professor at the Physics Department of UFS. His research interests focus on several aspects of nonlinear optics, such as optical characterization of organic materials, glasses and nanomaterials, rare-earth spectroscopy, transverse and nonlocal nonlinear effects, random lasers, photonic crystals, and others.
