Research

Centro de Física e Investigação Tecnológica
CEFITEC

The Center of Physics and Technological Research (CEFITEC) is an experimentally oriented research unit devoted to exploring specific areas of Applied Physics and related activities, merging topics of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering.

It is our goal to achieve technological developments based on firm scientific grounds. Therefore, our research ranges from basic principles to proof of concept, system prototype and, in some cases, deployment in operational environment.

We are fully committed in advanced training preparing young professionals to face the ever-growing challenges of our society.

For this purpose, CEFITEC has well-equipped laboratories and a strong experimental background focused on gas phase collisions, surface characterization, vacuum technology and metrology, and solar-pumped lasers.

Get to know DF

DF.FCT NOVA

The Physics Department (DF), formally created in 1986, was a pioneer in Portugal in teaching Physics Engineering. Presently, the DF carries out its teaching activities (1st, 2nd and 3rd cycles), fundamental and applied research and technological development in the fields of Physics, Physical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. It is also dedicated to providing services and to scientific dissemination in these fields.

The department's scientific activity is essentially carried out in two research units, LIBPhys-UNL and CEFITEC. Research covers several areas, such as atomic and molecular physics, nuclear and plasma physics, surface and interface physics, laser and vacuum physics, instrumentation, analytical techniques applied to health and cultural heritage, medical instrumentation, medical imaging, machine learning, biosignals and tissue engineering.
