Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Instituto de Física (IF) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Bachelor in Physics from the Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo (1976), Master in Physics from the University of São Paulo (1979), Doctor of Science (Physics) from the University of São Paulo (1985), Post-doctorate at Brookhaven National Laboratory, NY, USA (1991), Associated Professor at the University of São Paulo (2000). Currently she is a senior professor at the Physics Institute of the University of São Paulo, in the Department of General Physics. Has experience in Theoretical and Computational Physics, with emphasis on Statistical Physics, Complex Systems, working mainly on the following topics: chaos in dissipative systems, fractals, self-organized criticality, earthquake dynamics, modeling of complex systems in biology and sociology. As a complementary activity, from 2014 to 2018, has coordinated/participated in the implementation of active teaching methodologies in basic physics classes at IF-USP and, since 2016, is part of the coordination team of the National Professional Master's Degree program in Physics Teaching (MNPEF), an initiative of the Brazilian Society of Physics aimed at training teachers of elementary and high school physics.

The interest of physicists in interdisciplinary problems has increased in the last few years, with the study of complex systems. Tools from statistical mechanics, dynamic systems and other traditional areas have been applied to sociology, economy and biology problems, among others. In this project, we propose to study models defined in networks, that have the property of locally inhibit d…
There is an increasing interest, among theoretical physicists in the study of complex systems. Among the problems that have called the attention of physicists is the possibility of employing statistical mechanics, dynamical systems and numerical modeling techniques in the study of opinion propagation, that seems to present some universal scaling properties.In this project we will study w…
The interest among theoretical physicists in complex systems has grown in the last years. Among the problems that have called attention of physicists is the application of solid state, statistical mechanics and computational methods in the study of mechanisms governing opinion formation and propagation in a community. This study is justified by the observation that some scale properties o…

The interest of physicists for interdisciplinary problems has grown in the last years, with techniques from traditional areas of physics being applied to problems in sociology, economy and biology, among others. In this project, we propose to study how models defined in networks, that tend to inhibit diversity locally (homogenizing the states of the agents), could sustain this same divers…
