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.
Two positions for a Researcher (with Ph.D.) are open within the project Towards Precision Tests of Ultralight Dark Matter with Gravitational Imaging Waves. Application deadline: March 13, 2025. More info in Euraxess.
On 19 February 2015, the Portuguese Society of Relativity and Gravitation (SPRG) was officially created by the founding members: (left to right in photo) C. Herdeiro, V. Cardoso, J. Natário and J. Lemos. Let these be the first 10 years of a long history. Congratulations SPRG!
A meeting of the NewFunFiCO network will take place in Valencia, from 20-22 May 2025. More information can be found here.
In the last week of January 2025 we received the visits of Profs. Luis Carlos Crispino and Kunihito Uzawa. Great to have you here!
On January 29th the group got together to celebrate the new position, as assistant professor of António Morais, at the U. Minho, and the Ph.D. thesis of Nuno M. Santos. Congratulations to both!
The CIDMA meetin 2025 took place on January 20th 2025. Our group contributed with two presentations by C. Herdeiro and R. Luna. The meeting webpage can be found here.
Nuno M. Santos successfullly defended his Ph.D. thesis on January 10 2025. The defense was online and the degree awarded with distinction from IST-Lisbon. Well done Nuno and all the best for what comes next!
Two 6-month grants for M.Sc. holders are open within the project 2024.05617.CERN, "Towards precision tests of ultralight dark matter with imaging and gravitational waves". Applications should be submitted between 15 January and 5 February 2025. More info in the attached files and the Euraxess site.
The XVII black holes workshop took place at the University of Aveiro, from 19-20 December 2024. Over 70 participants got involved into two intense days of seminars and discussions on this growing and fascinating research topic. See you all in Lisbon in 2025! UA coverage here.
