This blog is about science and my life as a physicist. I hold a (full) professorship at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, in Natal, Brazil. Until 2010, I held an associate professorship at the Universidade Federal de Alagoas, Maceió.
I obtained my B.A. in physics at Oxford University in 1992 and my Ph.D. in physics with Professor H. Eugene Stanley at Boston University in 1997. In the 1980s, I also spent a year studying physics at American College in Madurai, India, after finishing high school at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics (NCSSM), a (publicly funded) boarding school (“residential school”) in Durham, NC, USA.
I was born in the city of Madras (later renamed Chennai) in India, but have lived in Brazil since childhood. I am a naturalized citizen of Brazil.

Hi! Don’t know if you remember me, but we shared an office at Boston University as grad students. Hope you’re well, please get in touch if you come to Boston. I like the blog.
