He authored several textbooks, notably the collection Curso de Física Básica (Course of Basic Physics), winner of the Prêmio Jabuti in 1999 on the category Ciências Exatas, Tecnologia e Informática (Exact Sciences, Technology and Informatics).[2] He was president of the Brazilian Society of Physics from 1981 to 1983.[3]
He is known, among other things, for explaining effects such as the glory, an optical phenomenon.
In 1986, he was the recipient of the Max Born Award. The prize citation reads: "For distinguished and valuable contributions to the theory of Mie scattering and to the theories of the rainbow and the glory."[4]
His two brothers, wife, and three children are all scientists or physicians; one of his children is the mathematician Helena J. Nussenzveig Lopes.[5]
