Rodrigo Arouca de Albuquerque

Atualmente sou postdoc no grupo Quantum Matter Theory na Universidade de Uppsala. Fiz meu doutorado na Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro com período de sanduíche de 2 anos no Institute for Theoretical Physics da Universidade de Utrecht. Trabalho em física da matéria condensada com especial foco em sistemas fortemente interagentes e topológicos, usando tanto métodos de teoria quântica de campos quanto métodos numéricos.

I am currently a exchange PhD student in the Institute for Theoretical Physics of Utrecht University and a regular PhD student in Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. My main research focus is in condensed matter physics, specially strongly correlated and topological systems, using both numerical and quantum field theoretical methods. My two current projects are to understand many properties (phase transition, transport, density of states, etc) of High-Tc cuprates and study the thermodynamics of topological systems
