Sandra Filippa Amato

Full Professor at the Institute of Physics, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Department of Theoretical Physics, holding a CNPq Research Productivity Scholarship Level 1D. Actively engaged in research at CERN's LHCb experiment since joining IF-UFRJ in 1993.

Educational background includes:

• Bachelor's in Physics from IF-UFRJ (1981-1984)
• Master's in Physics from CBPF (1985-1987)
• PhD in Physics from CBPF-Fermilab (1988-1992)
• Post-doctorate at CERN DELPHI Experiment (1995)

Her research focuses on Experimental High Energy Physics, specifically investigating CP violation through charm quark particle decays to explain cosmic matter-antimatter asymmetry. Current experimental work centers on data analysis from CERN's Large Hadron Collider, with emphasis on precision measurements in heavy-flavor physics.

Administrative leadership includes:

• Head of Department of Theoretical Physics
• Coordinator of LIG (Undergraduate Computer Laboratory)
• Member of Institute of Physics Accessibility Committee
• Member of Council for Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Studies in Applied Physics

Scientific recognition:

• CNPq Research Productivity Scholarship Level 1D (Brazil's highest research productivity classification)
