The PPG in Applied Physics is a course at a master's level consolidated in the scientific scenario of the Northeast Region. However, the PPGFA through its teachers has also been striving to expand and consolidate national and international collaborations and exchanges. These efforts have been generating the desired effects with a significant increase in such collaborations and exchanges when compared to the past quadrennium. As previously explained, through the survey carried out on the SciVal - ELSEVIER - SJR platform, we found that 31% of the articles published in PPG in Applied Physics have collaboration with researchers from international institutions, while 60% have collaborated with researchers with national institutions. The graph of this survey can be found in the attached file of Sucupira 2020, Annex Section VI. Even though it is a master's level program, in this quadrennium, the PPG in Applied Physics attracted a total of 5 post-doctorates. Of these, two obtained the title of Doctor outside the country, while the other three in the country.
1. Post-Doc Gabriel Guimarães Carvalho completed his doctorate at the University of Sapienza in Rome - Italy, in 2017, and remained in our program between November 2017 and October 2018 as a CNPq Junior Postdoctoral Fellow, under the supervision of the professor Fernando Moraes.
2. Post-Doc Frankbelson Dos Santos Azevedo completed his doctorate at the University of Lorraine, Nancy - France, in 2018, and started his post-doctorate in our program in January 2020 as a National postdoctoral fellow at CNPq, under the supervision of professor Fernando Moraes.
3. Post-Doc Márcio de Moura Cunha completed his doctorate at UFPE in 2017, and remained in our program between March and December 2018 as a Junior Postdoctoral Fellow at FACEPE, under the supervision of Professor Fernando Moraes.
4. Post-Doc Javier Del Cristo Lopez Ortiz completed his doctorate at UFPE in 2015 and remained in our program between August 2015 and February 2017 with a scholarship from the National Postdoctoral Program / Capes (PNPD / CAPES), under supervision of Professor Antônio Romaguera. 5. Postdoc Luciano Hugo Miranda Filho completed his doctorate at UnB in 2016 and started his postdoctoral studies in our program in March 2017 and continues to this date, with a scholarship from the National Postdoctoral Program / Capes (PNPD / CAPES), under the supervision of Professor Anderson Barbosa.
