Amir Caldeira
Amir Ordacgi Caldeira (born 1950 in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian physicist. He received his bachelor's degree in 1973 from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, his M.Sc. degree in 1976 from the same university, and his Ph.D. in 1980 from University of Sussex. He became an Assistant Professor at Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), in 1980. In 1984 he did pos-doctoral work, first at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) at University of California in Santa Barbara and then at the Thomas J. Watson Research Laboratory at IBM. In 1994-1995 he spent a sabbatical at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
