This month we officially welcome a new Ph.D. student in the Transport & Nanostructures group. Diego B. Fonseca joins us after completing his undergraduate and M.Sc. degrees at nearby UFRPE, where he was supervised by our collaborator Anderson L. R. Barbosa, who also will serve as Diego’s co-supervisor at the Physics Graduate Program at UFPE. In fact, the three of us already share one publication in Physical Review B related to his master’s dissertation “Lévy flight for electrons in graphene: Superdiffusive-to-diffusive transport transition“, and another one is on the way. In our group, Diego will continue to work on electron and spin transport in graphene-based nanostructures, and we are sure he will keep up with his excellent work, leading to a successful doctoral degree in a few years.
