Nominator's project description

Professor Pereira is well known internationally for his outstanding research on strongly correlated condensed matter theory. He has made numerous influential contributions to our understanding of quantum transport in low-dimensional systems. During his stay in Germany, Professor Pereira intends to work on spin transport in quantum magnets and, among others, on the properties of Weyl semimetals.
