Hi, welcome to my homepage!
I am Alberto Saa, Professor of Mathematical
Physics at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Campinas, SP,
Brazil, and a former
Associate Member of The Abdus Salam International Centre for
Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy. I was
educated at the University of São Paulo (USP),
from
where
I
received
a
B.Sc.
degree
in Physics (1989), a M.Sc.
(1992) and a Ph.D.
(1994), both in Mathematical Physics, under the supervision of Prof. J. Frenkel.
I
have
spent
extended
periods
of
time
as a visiting researcher/professor at the
Universities of Santiago de
Compostela (USC),
Barcelona
(UB),
Zaragoza
(UNIZAR), Valencia
(UV), and Lisbon
(CENTRA-IST),
at
the
Freie
Universität
Berlin
(F.U.),
and
at
the
Université
Libre
de
Bruxelles (ULB).
I
have
also
visited
regularly
the
California Institute of
Technology (Caltech),
our
partner
in
the
(former) US-Brazil Control
and Dynamical System Alliance.I have Spanish (Galician) origin, and hence my full name has two versions: Alberto Vazquez Saa (the Brazilian) and Alberto Saa Vázquez (the Galician). Unfortunately, my name is often misspelt.
