Pedro Patrício holds a degree in Physics from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, a master’s degree in Physics (Diplôme d'études approfondies – Champs, Particules et Matière) from Orsay, and a PhD in Physics from the University of Paris 7. His doctoral research, focused on Geometric Instabilities in Elasticity, was conducted at the Laboratoire de Physique Statistique of the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. Following his PhD, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Lisbon before joining ISEL/IPL. He is currently a Professor with tenure in the Physics Department at the Lisbon Engineering Institute (ISEL) of the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon (IPL). Throughout his academic career, he has taught foundational physics courses for undergraduate engineering programs—including Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Electromagnetism—as well as Computational Physics for master’s programs in Mechanical Engineering, focusing on Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer. He has been the scientific coordinator of the undergraduate program in Applied Physics at ISEL, launched in the 2022/23 academic year, where he teaches courses such as Numerical Modeling in Physics and Computational Statistical Physics. Pedro Patrício is also a permanent researcher at the Center for Theoretical and Computational Physics at the University of Lisbon. His research focuses on Soft Condensed Matter, with an emphasis on theoretical and computational approaches, often in collaboration with experimental teams. His scientific interests span elasticity, fluid mechanics, complex fluids, biophysics, and statistical physics.
