Under the supervision of Professor Stefan Pogatscher and in collaboration with a strong scientific network, I am delighted to share our two "most fresh" papers pushing up the frontiers of Aluminium Metallurgy. The first "Age-hardening response of AlMgZn alloys with Cu and Ag additions" is a comprehensive assessment on the heat-treatment response and mechanical properties … Continue reading Cutting edge Aluminium metallurgy!

The physical chemistry of brewing a decent coffee
Note: this text was written by Professor Cláudio Schön, my friend and collaborator. I am re-posting here because it is so cool! I am brazilian, therefore I am addicted to coffee. OK, not all brazilians drink coffee, as not all US Americans play baseball. This does not change the fact that I feel miserable if … Continue reading The physical chemistry of brewing a decent coffee
The multidisciplinary interplay in materials sciences: can we understand and mimic the nature?
Nature is smart and brilliant. In nature, we can find the best examples on how to biosynthesise a material and use it for several purposes with efficiency. An astonishing case study is the spider silk which is a form protein fibre structurally similar to cellulose and human hair. Looking at the nanoscale, Transmission Electron Microscopy … Continue reading The multidisciplinary interplay in materials sciences: can we understand and mimic the nature?
