Biografia completa

Pedro Cosme is a PhD student at Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear (Lisbon) in the Laboratory for Quantum Plasmas group. Pedro completed his Engineering Physics Masters in 2019, with a dissertation titled "Terahertz plasmonic instabilities in graphene: a hydrodynamical description". In the present day, he is pursuing his PhD on plasma physics under the supervision of Prof. Hugo Terças. During his academic path, he developed his interest in the fields of plasma physics, particularly on the cross-over to condensed matter physics, nonlinear phenomena and dynamical systems. Currently, his research focuses on plasmonics of graphene and other 2D materials, notably studying its wave instabilities as an active media for the generation of radiation in the THz range.
