Daniel Valente
Physics
Valente graduated in physics from the State University of Campinas and earned a master’s degree. He received his doctorate from the University of Grenoble in France, where he also conducted postdoctoral research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and the École Normale Supérieure de Paris.
Outside libraries and laboratories, his favorite hobby is eating pizza, followed by a glass of good wine. He also enjoys playing the guitar and riding his bicycle around Cuiabá, the city where he currently lives.
An adjunct professor in the physics department at the University of Mato Grosso, he often seeks respite from the heat of Cuiabá in the cooler climate of Chapada dos Guimarães, which reminds him of his hometown of Juiz de Fora.
