Hello everyone!

My name is Fabio Cafardo and I just started my PhD in Astrophysics at IAG-USP under the supervision of Prof. Rodrigo Nemmen. I’m really happy and motivated by this new challenge in my life.

Astronomy has always been one of my passions. But, before getting my Astrophysics degree, I worked 10 years as a Business Administrator. This experience proved to me that it is very important to work with something which you really like. That’s what I am doing now!

The topic of my research project is the high-energy emission of the supermassive black hole in the center of Our Galaxy, called Sagittarius A*. It is a fascinating topic and I really hope to provide new insights into the high energy processes occurring there.

Welcome aboard, Fabio! We are happy you switched gears and are working with us.
