Summary
Tiago De Souza is a postdoctoral researcher and optical physicist with a PhD in Applied Physics and roughly a decade of combined academic and industry experience designing and testing advanced optical instruments. He has deep expertise spanning linear and nonlinear optics, CW to amplified pulsed lasers, image formation and metrology, and has applied that knowledge to high-profile projects like a high-resolution space camera and multiple subsystems for the Giant Magellan Telescope. Comfortable across theory, hands-on alignment, and systems-level tolerance and stray-light analysis, he bridges academia and industry working with international teams from USP, ICFO, Macquarie, SAO and GMT Organization. Tiago also brings practical mechanical-precision skills from technical training in precision mechanics and a background in software/game development, highlighting an uncommon mix of optics, mechanics and coding. Currently focused on optical and mechanical design for GMT instruments and adaptive optics testbeds, he combines critical thinking with a determined, project-oriented mindset.
