Professor Erms Pereira graduated in Physics (Bachelor) from the Federal University of Pernambuco (2004), a Master's in Physics from the Federal University of Paraíba (2007), PhD in Physics from the Federal University of Paraíba (2011). He held a postdoctoral internship at the Federal University of Paraíba (2011) and has worked as a research fellow at the University of Leeds since 2020. He currently has a tenure-track adjunct professor position in the Physics Department at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE), Recife. He was a tenure-track professor of the Graduate Program in Physics at the Federal University of Alagoas (2014 to 2017), at the Graduate Program in Applied Physics at UFRPE (since 2017) and at the Graduate Program in Systems Engineering at the University of Pernambuco (UPE, since 2015). He is a reviewer for the scientific journals PIERS Online, Condensed Matter Physics and Journal of Applied Physics. He worked as an Ad Hoc consultant on scientific projects for the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas (FAPEAL), for the UPE, the Brazilian Society for the Progress of Science (SBPC) and for the Young Science Week of the Government of the State of Pernambuco. He has more than 40 published scientific papers (all types), and has 1 book chapter published. More than 70% of the articles published are part of the CAPES A1-A2-B1 (2015) platform, where one of these articles was selected to be featured in the Liquid Crystal Today magazine (2014). He has a patent filed for a liquid crystal device (2017). Prof. Erms Pereira received gratification from the UPE due to his outstanding scientific production (2016-2017). He successfully supervised almost 20 students between the Doctorate, Master's, Scientific Initiation and Teaching Initiation modalities between orientations and co-orientations. One of the Scientific Initiation projects received an award from the Exhibition of Extension, Innovation and Research POLI / UPE (2016). He has experience in Physics, with emphasis on Condensed Matter Physics, working mainly on the following subjects: analogous gravitational models in condensed matter, liquid crystals, thermal conduction and electromagnetism.
