Professor Ferreira da Silva completed his doctorate in Physics at the Linköping
University, Sweden in Dec 1979 with the investigation of disorder and correlation
effects in impurity semiconductor materials. He joined the group of Takeo Matsubara
to direct his research to disordered systems at Department of Physics, Kyoto
University, Japan in 1979. At Brown University, USA in 1982 he directed his
investigation to inversion layers.

Founding Member of the Academy of Sciences of Bahia.
Coordinator of the Natural Sciences Committee of the Bahia Foundation for Scientific
and Innovation Development.
Vice-Coordinator of the Multi_Functional Laboratory for Nanotechnology of the
Northwest Strategic Centre for Technology
Coordinator of the University Infrastructure Laboratory Program for Physics,
Chemistry , Geophysics, Mathematics and Biology
He has served at the National Research Council of Scientific and Technological
Development –CNPq.
He has been Consultant to CAPES (Coordination of Improvement of Higher
Education Personnel)
He has experience in the area of Physics of the Condensed Matter, acting
principally in optical and electronic properties of new semiconductor materials.
Emphasis to experiment and theory in metal-insulating transition, nanostructured
materials, polarization of spin driving to spintronic devices based in semiconductor
nanostructures and ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductors, photocatalysis
leading to hydrogen production and solar cells.
