Research Lines of the PPGF

The Graduate Program in Physics (PPGF) at UFG is distinguished by its diversified training, which integrates different areas of Physics within a cohesive and multidisciplinary academic structure. This characteristic allows students to build a solid foundation while deepening their knowledge in both traditional and emerging fields of science.

The PPGF organizes its activities into nine research lines, namely:

• Stellar Astrophysics

• Cellular Biophysics and Molecular Crystallography

• Electronic Structure of Molecules, Liquids, and Solids

• Materials Physics

• Photonics and Biophotonics

• Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology and Thermal Nanomedicine

• Quantum Optics and Quantum Information

• Particles and Fields

• Strongly Correlated Systems

This wide range of areas provides students with comprehensive training, encompassing both the fundamentals of theoretical Physics and cutting-edge technological applications, thereby reinforcing the interdisciplinary and innovative character of the program.
