Memorial descritivo para promoção à classe de professor titular da carreira de magistério superior

Abstract

This memoir aims to highlight aspects that I consider relevant in my education and professional career. I understand that my professional profile begins with my academic training, the motivations, and the values that accompanied me during my studies in the field of Physics, culminating in a Ph.D. in Statistical Physics.

The process of building and consolidating my professional trajectory at UFU started with the development of scientific research activities and, from 2004 onwards, with science outreach initiatives that led to the creation of a Science Museum called Museu DICA – Fun with Science and Art.

In many ways, my professional history is intertwined with the process of envisioning, creating, and establishing Museu DICA. Beyond the numerous projects carried out during its creation, my focus during this period was not solely on outreach but also on producing articles, presenting papers at conferences, creating a science communication journal, curating exhibitions, organizing science fairs, and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students.
