Researcher

Jefferson Bettini

He holds a Physics BSc from the State University of Londrina (1994), followed by Physics MSc (1997) and a PhD (2003) from the Gleb Wataghin Physics Institute, State University of Campinas. He did postdoctoral studies the University of Oxford (2016). He has published more than 90 complete articles in specialized journals, including Nature Nanotechnology and Science. In his scientific activities he interacted with more than 70 collaborators in co-authoring scientific works. He has experience in Physics, with an emphasis on Condensed Matter Physics, working mainly on the following topics: Electron Microscopy, with an emphasis on nano-characterization, and related analyses. Today he develops research in the area of phase transformations, using electron microscopy as an analytic tool. One of the founders of the electronic cryo-microscopy group, a pioneer for studies of protein structures using transmission electron microscopy.
