Paulo Ribeiro received the PhD degree in Materials Sciences and Engineering by Universidade de S?o Paulo, Brazil. He is Professor at Department of Physics of Faculdade de Ci?ncias e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, since 2000, where he has been dedicated to lecturing applied optics and photonics and organizing didactic sessions and expositions in the field of optical sciences. He is college ambassador since 2016, for the disclosure of the institution. He is founding member, of the Functional Molecular Systems research line at Centre of Physics and Technological Research of Faculdade de Ci?ncias e Tecnologia of Universidade Nova de Lisboa, created in 2008, where he is engaged in the development and characterization of molecular thin films of organic functional molecules for applications in optics photonics, sensors and devices. Since 2013 he has been chairing PHOTOPTICS international conference series ol#+
