Biography
My research focuses on theoretical and computational studies of quantum and condensed matter systems, with emphasis on superconductivity, quantum transport, disorder effects, and light–matter interaction. I obtained my PhD in Physics from the University of Antwerp, Belgium, where I developed a quantum transport theory for nanostructures. Over the years, I have held academic and research positions in Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, Russia, and Taiwan. My work has been supported by international fellowships and grants, including the Alexander von Humboldt, Marie Curie, BELSPO, and Academia Sinica programs. I have published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles, contributed to several books, and delivered over 40 invited talks. My research combines analytical and numerical approaches to study how disorder, confinement, and non-equilibrium effects influence the properties of quantum materials. I have also supervised a number of master’s and doctoral projects in condensed matter and quantum physics.
