Patricia Christina Marques Castilho did her education in Brazil. She has a bachelor's degree in Physics from the Universidade Federal de São Carlos (2009), a master's degree (2012) and a PhD (2017) in Physics from the Instituto de Física de São Carlos of the Universidade de São Paulo (IFSC-USP), having defended a work on the production of Bose-Einstein condensates of two atomic species to study quantum turbulence, supervised by Vanderlei S. Bagnato. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (LKB), in Paris, in Jean Dalibard's group, where she developed studies related to the properties of degenerate two-dimensional Bose gases. Since 2019, she is an associated professor at IFSC-USP, in São Carlos, where she studies the superfluid properties of two- and three-dimensional atomic clouds and in 2024, she has became a grantee of the Instituto Serrapilheira.
She has experience in Physics, with an emphasis on experimental Atomic and Molecular Physics; cold atoms and Bose-Einstein condensation; Superfluidity; Quantum Turbulence; Two-dimensional atomic gases.
