Brief Bio
Paulo Ribeiro obtained his PhD in Physics and Materials Engineering in 1999 from the University of São Paulo (São Carlos Institute of Physics, Brazil). He is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the NOVA School of Science and Technology, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (NOVA FCT). He is a founding member of the Functional Molecular Systems research group and an integrated researcher at LIBPhys (Laboratory for Instrumentation, Biomedical Engineering and Radiation Physics).
His research activity focuses on the development, processing, and characterization of functional molecular thin
films, with particular emphasis on photoresponsive materials, light–matter interaction, and laser-based surface structuring. His work is strongly aligned with photonics, including nonlinear optics, structured light, and the fabrication of optical elements for beam shaping and orbital angular momentum control. He has extensive experience in azobenzene-based systems and surface relief structuring for photonic applications.
He is Coordinator of the MSc in Physics Engineering at NOVA FCT and has been co-chair of the PHOTOPTICS – International Conference on Optics, Photonics and Laser Technology since 2013.
