Gr@v is a team of researchers, based at the Mathematics and Physics Department of Aveiro University, Portugal, working on strong gravity and high energy physics. The group was established in 2010. In January 2015 Gr@v integrated the FCT funded CIDMA research unit (UIDB/04106/2020 and UIDP/04106/2020), as the Gravitational Geometry and Dynamics research group. The group scientific coordinator is C. Herdeiro.
Within the decade long collaboration between Gr@v and the gravity group at Federal University of Pará, Brasil, C. Herdeiro visited the UFPA Campi in Belém and Salinas in August 2024, giving scientific seminars and outreach talks.
This week Gr@v hosted A. Bernal and J. Barranco from Guanajuato (Mexico) and E. Gasperín from IST-Lisbon. Great seminars and discussions. Thank you for your visits!
C. Herdeiro visited the ICTP-Asia Pacific and the University of the Chinese Academy of sciences, in Beijing, presenting an invited seminar hosted by Prof. Yu Tian.
The "New horizons for Psi school and workshop" took place at IST Lisbon, from 1-5 July 2024. Gr@v members E. Radu and P. Cunha, as well as former member and external collaborator N. Sanchis-Gual, were invited speakers at the meeting.
C. Herdeiro was one of the invited lecturers of the school in Physics organized by Prof. Hongbao Zhang and the Beijing Normal University, in the Zhuhai campus, southern China.
Our group has received 3.0 million CPU-hours at the MareNostrum supercomputer in Barcelona. This project is led by Raimon Luna and is titled "Exotic Compact Objects in Einstein-Proca-Scalar Theories".
The IX Amazonian Workshop on Gravity an Analogue Models took place in Belém, Brazil, from 17-21 June 2024. A co-organization of our group within the NewFunFiCO network it featured seminars and lecture courses from several Gr@v group members.
C. Herdeiro was one of the presenters in the ECIU Collaborative project event, on May 22nd 2024, sharing the project NewFunFiCO coordinated by Aveiro U. with the consortium.
Gr@v members A. Morais, M. Finetti, J. Gonçalves and V. Oliveira visited CERN between the 13th and 16th May to participate in the 4th anual EuCAPT symposium, with the presentation of three posters and a lightning talk by M. Finetti.
