Professor Daniel Mario Ugarte (UNICAMP), founding member of B-MRS, was sworn in as a fellow of TWAS (The World Academy of Sciences) in a virtual ceremony held on November 4 within the 15th TWAS general conference.
The election of Ugarte as a member, in the field of Physics, took place in 2019, but the inauguration ceremony was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
TWAS fellows are scientists whose contributions to science meet international standards of excellence and who work in or promote research in developing countries.
