About Denis

Denis R. Candido is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Iowa, appointed in January 2022. Previously, he held a Postdoctoral Research Scholar position at the same institution from 2020 to 2021. He earned his PhD in Physics from the University of São Paulo, where he also completed his bachelor's and master's degrees under the supervision of Prof. Jose Carlos Egues. Candido's research lies within condensed matter and materials physics, with a focus on quantum information science. His work explores topological matter, spintronics, spin defects, and quantum technologies using solid-state spins. He investigates magnon-mediated entanglement of spin qubits, strong coupling between spins and magnon modes in materials like vanadium tetracyanoethylene, and spin-orbit interactions in heterostructures. Candido develops theoretical models for spin coherence and decoherence in nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, including suppression mechanisms in p-n diodes and engineering interfaces free of dark spins.
