Daniel de Martini Rivera Ferreira

PhD student in the field of quantum materials physics, with an emphasis on symmetry breaking in strongly correlated systems. He seeks to understand how interactions between the different microscopic degrees of freedom of complex systems, and the relationship with their symmetries, lead to electronic and magnetic properties. The research involves the use of advanced computational methods, such as Density Functional Theory (DFT) and its extensions for strong correlations. One of the points is to always seek to integrate theory and experimental results, exploring new approaches to symmetry breaking and its consequences for understanding exotic properties in quantum materials.
