December 2021: Returning to Brazil - postdoc at ICTP-SAIFR
This December 2021 I have returned to Brazil to start a postdoc financed by FAPESP with Ricardo Martínez-García at ICTP-SAIFR (IFT-UNESP) on Theoretical Ecology and other Biophysics topics related to Active Matter.
June 2021: Two presentations at Brazilian Physics Society meeting, with audio available
In June 2021, I had the opportunity to present two works at the online conference of the Brazilian Society of Physics (sbfisica.org.br/~eosbf/2021/index.php/pt/):
- "Speed diversity reduces clusters of active particles in narrow channels",
- "Phase separation dynamics of polydisperse colloidal mixtures".
The latter was a poster, whose PDF and corresponding pre-recorded audio are available at pablodecastro.weebly.com/research.
