L. G. Rizzi

L. G. Rizzi is an Adjunct Professor at the Departamento de Física of Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV). He holds a B.Sc. in Physics from Instituto de Física de São Carlos (USP), M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Physics Applied to Medicine and Biology from FFCLRP-USP, and conducted postdoctoral research at University of Leeds and UFRGS.

• Education:
  • B.Sc. in Physics (2006), IFSC-USP
  • M.Sc. (2009) and Ph.D. (2013) in Physics Applied to Medicine and Biology, FFCLRP-USP
• Postdoctoral Experience:
  • Visiting Research Fellow at University of Leeds (2013-2015)
  • Postdoctoral Fellow at UFRGS (2015)

His research focuses on viscoelastic properties of soft matter, advanced Monte Carlo simulations, protein aggregation, phase transitions in frustrated systems, nucleation theories, and magnetic/spin systems. Recent work explores microrheology, thermostatistical approaches, and stress-strain relationships in gels.

Publications show a trend toward computational methods in biomaterials, phase transitions, and aggregation kinetics. He actively seeks postdocs and graduate students for research opportunities at UFV.
