Jorge Vieira, an IPFN researcher and Associate Professor in the Physics Department at Instituto Superior Técnico, has reached an important milestone in his academic journey by successfully completing his Aggregation in Physics. The two-day examination took place on January 13th and 14th, 2025, at IST.

The exam featured two main components: a Curricular Unit Report on the Introduction to Plasma Physics course and a seminar titled “Plasma-based Accelerators and Light Sources: An Overview from the Past to the Future.” Prof. Luís Lemos Alves led the jury with other distinguished members including Peter Norreys, Caterina Riconda, Brigitte Cros, and Frederico Fiúza.

This achievement highlights Jorge’s commitment and significant contributions to plasma physics, particularly in the field of plasma-based particle accelerators and innovative laser pulses.

Congratulations, Jorge!
