About the Exchange Period (2015-2016)

1 / 5
University of Helsinki's Kumpula Campus.
Physicum was the building dedicated to Physics, Geography and Geology.
2 / 5
Exactum was the building dedicated to Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science.
3 / 5
The area around the main lounge of the Physicum building.
4 / 5
Study areas inside the Physicum building.
5 / 5
The main campus of the University of Helsinki. There, the international students can have their Finnish classes.

From September 2015 to June 2016 I was enrolled as an exchange student in the University of Helsinki, in Finland. This was thanks to the Science Without Borders programme of Brazil’s Federal Government and CNPq (one of the major Brazilian funding agencies).

During this period, I took mainly courses related to computational physics, statistics, and data treatment, such as: Tools for High Performance Computing, Scientific Computing II, Linux Fundamentals, Basics of Monte Carlo Simulations and Monte Carlo Simulations in Physics. Some of them were graduate-level courses.

Teaching Assistance

During my undergraduate and graduate studies, I worked as a Teaching Assistant (TA) for a few undergraduate-level courses at the University of São Paulo. Most of them were experimental physics courses.

Usually, the responsibilities of a TA encompass after-class helping hours, during-class help (for experimental courses), grading student’s assignments, participation in teaching staff meetings. Sometimes, an experienced TA can be tasked with teaching a class, assuming a de facto Professor position for that course only. In those cases, the responsibilities of the TA are the same as an ordinary Professor.

‡: As a de facto Professor (responsible for teaching a class).
*: Pandemic version. The chronogram was altered to adapt the courses to a virtual or semi-virtual version.

Since the description of those disciplines is mainly in Portuguese, I will try to translate the main idea behind each of them.
