Additional information

Research area

Applications of Statistical Physics within the realms of Magnetism and Network Science, with specific focus in the following areas:

  • Stochastic dynamics of the magnetization promoted by thermal and quantum fluctuations 
  • Phase transitions in the presence of competing interactions (e.g., exchange and dipolar interactions)   
  • Criticality and robustness of complex networks
