Biography

Marcos A. G. Alvarez received the Degree in physics, the master’s degree in science, and the Ph.D. degree in nuclear physics from the Physics Institute, University of Sao Paulo (IFUSP), Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1996, 1998, and 2002, respectively.
He held a post-doctoral position with Commissariat a l’ Energie Atomique, Saclay, France, from 2003 to 2004. He was a Superior Title Researcher with the University of Seville, Seville, Spain, from 2004 to 2007, and a Researcher Doctor through the programs Juan De La Cierva and Ramon y Cajal from 2008 to 2013. During his stay at the University of Seville, he became a Full Professor at the Spanish National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation. Since 2013, he has been a Visiting Professor with the University of Sao Paulo, funded by the Research Foundation of Sao Paulo State. Since 2013, he has been a contracted Doctor of the Physics Institute at IFUSP. His experience is based on nuclear physics, mainly on nuclear reactions and instrumentation, acting in the development of detectors and electronics, in addition to nuclear reaction experimental measurements involving stable and exotic nuclei, with the application of both research lines in medical physics. Such experience was achieved with several experimental campaigns carried out at the main international laboratories (CERN, GANIL, GSI, TRIUMF, IPN-Orsay, among others) and the participation in several international research projects. He was involved in several academic projects, creating and teaching different courses for graduation and post-graduation levels. He has supervised three Ph.D. theses, five master’s degree research works, and one post-doctoral stage. As a result of his research activity, he has authored more than 80 international reviews, with approximately 1000 citations. He is a reviewer of the Physical Review Journals and Reviews of Modern Physics of American Physics Society.
