Alisson Cadore was appointed a member in the physical sciences area for the São Paulo region
Researcher from the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), Alisson Ronieri Cadore, member of the Brazilian Nanotechnology National Laboratory (LNNano), was elected Affiliate Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC) in the Physical Sciences area. Cadore will represent the São Paulo region from 2026 to 2030. In addition to him, four other young scientists from different institutions in São Paulo were selected.
Alisson Cadore is part of LNNano’ Devices Division, where he works on the development and application of ultrathin devices based on two-dimensional (2D) materials and van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, focusing on nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and advanced sensing.
Cadore holds a degree in Physics from the Franciscan University Center, and a master’s and PhD in Physics from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), with a period of doctoral studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). His academic career includes pioneering contributions to the development of gas sensors based on 2D materials and the creation of ultra-thin nanodevices for applications in 2D hybrid systems.
Between 2017 and 2020, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Cambridge Graphene Centre, University of Cambridge (United Kingdom), and from 2020 to 2022, he worked at MackGraphe in São Paulo, deepening his research in nanophotonics and optoelectronics. He specializes in van der Waals heterostructures and investigates the electrical, optical, and multifunctional properties of new 2D materials.
More about ABC affiliates
In total, ABC appointed 30 new Affiliate Members, with terms beginning on January 1, 2026, and extending until December 31, 2030. Created to recognize and encourage outstanding young scientists at the beginning of their careers, the Affiliate Member Program has contributed to strengthening the national scientific system, promoting renewal, diversity, and the expansion of collaborative networks.
The selection of affiliates is carried out by region, through convocation from the part of Full Members and evaluation by committees composed of ABC members. The graduation ceremonies for the new members will be held at regional scientific symposia. In the case of the São Paulo region, the event is scheduled to take place in the first half of October 2026.
