Welcome to Krissia's webpage, an online platform I will use to share my professional and personal adventures.

I am a Computational Physicist 👩‍💻 who fell in love with Quantum Sciences ⚛️ My journey started in São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷, and has since taken me around the world ✈️ as a nomade researcher. I have recently returned to my alma mater, the São Carlos Institute of Physics, to become a professor 👩‍🏫. 

My research 🔎 focuses on many-body systems, a topic at the intersection of various sub-fields, including condensed matter theory, statistical mechanics, quantum information, and quantum computing. I am interested in understanding how interactions between quantum particles lead to complex states and how these states evolve to create emergent phenomena. I specialized in developing and implementing state-of-the-art numerical methods 💻 to study strongly correlated systems, both in and out-of-equilibrium. More recently, I have been fascinated with the potential of quantum computers to digitally simulate model Hamiltonians, the mathematical description we use for a plethora of many-body phenomena.
 
I am fortunate to have a wonderful group of fellows helping me in this adventure! We named ourselves QuCoA 🍫, a title inspired in our passion for both quantum correlated systems and chocolate. Together, we are working 🦾 to answer some questions that remain in the many-body problem and will contribute to quantum sciences.

Beyond my professional life, I enjoy drawing 👩🏻‍🎨, swimming 🏊🏻‍♀️, traveling 🧳, baking 🍰, attending heavy metal festivals 🎸, and I have a fondness for cats 🐈 and ice cream 🍦(actually gelato 😉).

If you attend to one my talks, you will see that am a big fan of Bitmojis! If you come over to visit me in São Carlos ir is very likely that you will be indulged by brigadeiros 🍬.
