报告摘要：In this talk, I shall make a brief introduction to historical aspects and provide quantitative information about the University of São Paulo (USP), the most renowned and prestigious university in Brazil, emphasizing both its national and international role and status. In particular, I will present the São Carlos School of Engineering (EESC/USP) – a center of international excellence in teaching and research – and its role in Brazilian scientific and technological development. Finally, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (SEL/EESC/USP), my research group and the topics of current interest will be highlighted, together with opportunities for joint collaboration and research. The USP-China Center, recently opened at USP, illustrates the university's efforts to strengthen collaboration with higher education institutions in China, across a wide range of fields, and can serve as a strategic bridge for new partnerships and the signing of memoranda of understanding between schools and/or departments.
报告人简介: Leonardo A. Ambrosio received his B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from University of Campinas, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Campinas, Brazil, in 2002, 2005 and 2009, respectively. Between 2009 and 2013 he was a postdoctoral Fellow with the Department of Microwaves and Optics at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Campinas (Unicamp), and developed part of his research at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA. He is now an associate professor at the University of São Paulo, in Brazil, the most prestigious and renowned university in Brazil and South America, with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the São Carlos School of Engineering. His research interests include photonics, light-scattering problems for optical trapping and manipulation, metamaterials and plasmonics for optical nano-circuits and microstructured light fields and modeling of non-diffracting beams envisioning applications in biomedical optics, telecommunications and atom guiding. Recently, he has dedicated himself to research in brain-computer interfaces for the development of cutting-edge assistive technologies.
