Henrique Boschi Filho

Henrique Boschi Filho is a Full Professor at the Theoretical Physics Department within the Institute of Physics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). He holds a CNPq Research Productivity Scholarship at Level 1D, indicating his significant contributions to Brazilian scientific research.

Education:

• PhD in Physics from UFRJ

Boschi Filho's research focuses on advanced theoretical physics, particularly String and Superstring Theory, General Particle and Field Theory, Elementary Particle Physics, Mathematical Methods of Physics, Relativity, and Gravitation. His work centers on applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence in Particle Physics, which allows for describing 4-dimensional physics through String Theory in 10 dimensions. This research enables calculations of important particle properties such as mass, coupling, radius, and effective potential between particles to study confining properties. His investigations also extend to thermal properties of particle systems, including confining/deconfining phase transitions, chiral phase transitions, and effects of external fields.

Awards:

• CNPq Research Productivity Scholarship – Level 1D

Boschi Filho actively mentors MSc and PhD students in String Theory, with research projects focusing on applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence. As an educator, he teaches advanced courses including Quantum Field Theory, String Theory I and II, and various quantum mechanics courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. He maintains the String Theory Group at UFRJ, contributing significantly to theoretical physics research in Brazil.
