Raphael F. Ribeiro is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Emory University. His research focuses on developing mathematical theories and computational models to understand light-matter interactions and chemical dynamics in nano-, meso-, and quantum-material environments. His group studies energy flow, charge transport, chemical reactivity, and optical response in systems involving molecular materials, photonic structures, metal nanoparticles, polar surfaces, and topological materials.
Raphael received his B.Sc. in Chemistry from the Federal University of São Carlos in Brazil, his M.S. in Chemistry from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, Irvine. Before joining Emory in 2020, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Diego. His work has been recognized with the 2018 ACS Physical Chemistry Division Young Investigator Award, an NSF CAREER Award, and a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Early Career Research Program Award.
