Pedro Manuel Duarte Gonçalves Amaro

Academic Degrees

PhD in Atomic Physics in 2011/12/22 in a Joint Doctorate program between NOVA School of Science and Technology and Sorbonne Université.

Master’s degree in physics in 2007 by NOVA School of Science and Technology

Degree in Physics Engineering in 2006 by NOVA School of Science and Technology

Research Interests

Current topics of interest are multidisciplinary: from theoretical subjects of evaluating second-order quantum processes and resonances; to more experimental ones such as plasma modelling, measurement of cross sections relevant for astrophysics, as well as laser spectroscopy of muonic atoms.
