Ricardo Ribeiro

Ricardo Ribeiro is an Assistant Professor at Universidade do Minho and a Cooperation Associate (CoAs) of the Theory of Quantum Nanostructures (TQN) group at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL). His research focuses on theoretical solid-state physics, particularly two-dimensional materials such as graphene. He is affiliated with the Rossier Research Group and contributes to interdisciplinary nanotechnology studies.

He has authored books including Introdução à Física Contemporânea (2010) and Física XXI (2020), and his publications include work in high-impact journals like Science. His research explores excitonic responses, quantum nanostructures, and computational methods for material simulations.

Key contributions include developing the Berry code for Bloch wavefunction differentiation and advancing understanding of hBN bilayers and UV polaritonics in 2D materials. His work bridges theoretical physics with practical applications in nanotechnology and optoelectronics.
