Dr. Bruno Cucco completed his undergraduate studies in Physics at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina in Brazil. He then pursued a Master's in Physics at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, also in Brazil, where he focused on using many-body methods to study topological insulator phases in layered materials. Following this, he earned his PhD in Physics/Materials Science at the Université de Rennes in France, where his research investigated the optoelectronic properties of perovskites, with a particular emphasis on how electron-hole and electron-phonon coupling influence these properties. Currently, Dr. Cucco is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Texas at Austin, working on the application and development of many-body methods for electron-phonon coupling.
