FERNANDO LUCATELLI NUNES

Ph.D. in Mathematics     Ph.D. in Computer Science

I have held academic and research appointments, as well as visiting positions, across Europe, the Americas, and Africa. These include postdoctoral and research fellowships at institutions such as the University of Birmingham (UK), York University (Canada), the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (Germany), Utrecht University (The Netherlands), the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences (Canada), and the University of Coimbra (Portugal), where I was recently appointed Assistant Professor (start in 2026).

In addition, I have undertaken visiting research stays at a range of international institutions, including UCLouvain (Belgium), Stellenbosch University and the University of Cape Town (South Africa), and the Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA, Brazil).
