Análise de um estilingue e espirais de caderno: Um estudo de caso.
Published in Rev. Bras. de Ensino de Fisica, 2006
Can a hit from a slingshot kill you? My first academic paper shows that even home-made slingshots can be fatal, owing to cubic terms in Hooke’s law that make elastics a lot more dangerous than springs.

Crystalline assemblies and densest packings of a family of truncated tetrahedra and the role of directional entropic forces
Published in ACS Nano, 2011
This paper introduces the idea of directional entropic forces as a key concept to explain how non-attractive particles can self-assemble into complex crystals. Download paper here

Predictive self-assembly of polyhedra into complex structures
Published in Science, 2012
This paper shows that directional entropic forces can lead simple geometries to spontaneously self-assemble into a plethora of complex crystals under confinement. The rules dictating which crystals might be formed come simply from the building blocks geometries.
