Thiago Fleury
Physics
Thiago Fleury is a physicist with a B.A. and M.A. from the University of São Paulo. He earned his Ph.D. from the Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, where he also carried out his first post-doc. This was followed by stints at two renowned institutions: the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Canada, and the École Normale Supérieure Paris, France.
To stay active, Thiago practices martial arts. His dream of becoming a drummer was short-lived, as he had to put down his sticks due to his demanding travel schedule. As a physicist, he focuses on theories about quantum gravity. Chess is his escape from his concerns about the universe, and he follows international championship matches online.
