and
the
development
of
new
techniques
to
study

As
técnicas
usadas
são
Monte

(Clássico
e
Quântico),
Molecular
Dynamics
and
Field
Theory.
Recently
we
developed
a
new
technique,
based
on
the
zeros
of
the
partition
function,
to
precisely
determine
critical
temperatures
and
exponents.
The
study
of
the
thermodynamical
properties
of
polymers
is
one
of
the
subjects
we
are
interested
in
this
moment.

Undergraduated
Antonio
Cadilhe
received
his
Bachelor
degree
in
Condensed
Matter
Physics
by
Oporto
University
in
1990,
Portugal
and
Master
(1995)
and
PhD
(1998)
degrees
by
Clarkson
University,
NY,
USA.
Cadilhe
has
held
positions
as
a
postdoctoral
fellow
at
the
State
University
of
Iowa,
IA,
USA
in
1997-1999
and
as
an
invited
assistant
professor
at
the
University
of
Minho,
Portugal
from
1999
to
2006.
Also
taught
as
a
teaching
assistant
in
Clarkson
University,
NY,
USA
from
1993
to
1997
and
as
invited
assistant
professor
while
at
University
of
Minho.
Obtained
short-term
(three
months)
fellowships
from
both
Fundação
para
a
Ciência
e
a
Tecnologia
and
Fundação
Calouste
Gulbenkian
(both
Portuguese),
to
visit
the
T-12
Group
at
Los
Alamos
National
Laboratory,
NM,
USA,
later
extended
through
a
long-term
postdoctoral
fellowship
by
Fundação
para
a
Ciência
e
a
Tecnologia
(Portuguese
counterpart
of
the
National
Science
Foundation
in
USA)
from
2007-2011.
Later
became
a
postdoctoral
fellow
of
the
T-5
Group
of
the
Los
Alamos
National
Laboratory
from
2011
to
2012.
Cadilhe's
interests
are
broadly
described
by
the
area
of
out-of-equilibrium
and
equilibrium
Statistical
Physics,
involving
work
in
themes
such
as
kinetics
of
diffusion-limited
reactions,
kinetics
of
thin
and
atomically-thick
films
on
substrates,
the
irreversible
kinetics
of
deposition
and
jamming
of
colloids
on
pre-patterned
substrates,
and
the
kinetics
of
random
sequential
adsorption
consisting
of
binary
mixtures
(two
sizes)
of
particles.
In
terms
of
methodologies,
Cadilhe's
work
has
included
both
analytical
and
computational
methods.
Computational
methods
have
included
Monte
Carlo,
such
as
the
standard
Metropolis
Monte
Carlo,
the
kinetic
(continuous
time)
Monte
Carlo,
and
the
more
sophisticated
Wang-Landau
Replica
exchange
method,
as
well
as,
the
Molecular
Dynamics,
such
as,
regular
Molecular
Dynamics,
Accelerated
Molecular
Dynamics
methods,
such
as
Temperature
Accelerated
Dynamics
and
Parallel
Replica
dynamics,
and
the
Particle-Particle-Particle-Mesh
(P3M)
method
for
long-range
interactions.
During
his
tenure
at
the
University
Federal
de
Minas
Gerais
from
2014
to
present,
interests
have
revolved
around
a
novel
method
for
the
study
of
homogeneous
systems
involving
the
calculation
of
long-range
interactions
in
real-space,
implemented
the
sophisticate
Wang-Landau
Replica
Exchange
method
and
have
been
applying
it
to
the
study
of
the
phase
transitions
in
the
clock
model,
and
the
dynamics
of
polymers
at
an
interface
constituted
by
a
FCC(100)
substrate.
