Doutor   em   Física   pela   Universidade   Federal   de   Minas   Gerais   (2009).   Atualmente,   Professor   adjunto   no Departamento   de   Física   da   Universidade   Federal   de   Minas   Gerais.   Tenho   larga   experiência   em   Física Computacional   e   Simulações   de   Monte   Carlo,   atuando   principalmente   nos   seguintes   temas:   modelos   de spin,   magnetismo   e   materiais   magneticos,   transições   de   fase.   Atualmente,   tenho   me   dedicado   ao   estudo de   sistemas   magnéticos   artificialmente   frustrados   (gelos   de   spin   -   Spin   Ice   -   artificiais)   e   suas   excitações coletivas   e   em   métodos   modernos   aplicados   ao   estudo   de   transições   de   fase,   em   especial,   no   uso   de zeros da função de partição (zeros de Fisher).
Doutor   em   Física   do   Estado   Sólido.   Atualmente,   Professor   Titulas   do   departamento   de   Física   da   UFMG. Nosso   grupo   atua,   principalmente,   no   estudo   de   modelos   computacionais   em   estado   sólido,   “soft   matter” and   the   development   of   new   techniques   to   study   phase   transitions.   As   técnicas   usadas   são   Monte   carlo (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. Our collaborations are …

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.
