Graduate Program in Physics
Academic Master's in Physics
An academic postgraduate program designed to train individuals in basic (pure) and applied physics, based on scientific and technological concepts, taught by a faculty with solid experience, including CNPq productivity researchers from universities in other states and abroad, who are also active participants in international research groups.
PROFÍSICA was created in 2009 by bringing together researchers involved with the undergraduate Physics program at UESC (in both Bachelor's and Teaching Degree modalities), and it currently offers an Academic Master's degree.

What We Want
To enhance knowledge and dissemination about physics and its disciplines, based on solid evidence, and to contribute to the training of more qualified professionals who are capable of proposing and applying efficient solutions for the development of humanity and the environment.
Greatest Transformation
The PROFÍSICA Academic Master's program is committed to working towards training highly qualified individuals in the scientific and technological knowledge of pure and applied physics, within four main areas: astrophysics, nuclear physics, quantum information, and field theory. It is also committed to supporting the formal and informal education of the general interested public, with extension activities that contribute to education, health, and the environment.
Some Metrics
CNPq Productivity Scholars
Throughout our history, we have had CNPq productivity fellows. Currently, 4 of our faculty members hold this position.
Student Origin
In 14 years, we have enabled the graduation of 58 academic master's students.
Scientific Publications
Our faculty members are authors of over 400 scientific publications, with approximately 4,000 citations by peers.
Research Lines
The Academic Master’s Program in Physics (PROFÍSICA) is developed in four research lines:
Topics: 1) Stellar Formations, 2) Star Clusters, 3) Internal Kinematics of Galaxies, and 4) Evolution of Galaxies in Cluster Groups.
Topics: 1) Quantum Mechanics, 2) Quantum Optics, 3) Quantum Information, 4) Quantum Entanglement, and 5) Quantum Thermodynamics.

"In the UESC Astrophysics Laboratory, I discovered that doing science was also for me, a black girl from the periphery, coming from a public school.
Today I have a Post-Doctorate and work as a Data Scientist at one of the largest Petroleum Distribution companies in Brazil."
