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.
The Spanish-Portuguese Relativity Meeting 2021 took place online from 13-16 September 2021, organized by our group. With over 200 registered participants and 95 talks (invited, contributed and one public lecture), the meeting exhibited the interdisciplinarity of this thriving field. Talk slides can be found in the program webpage. We hope to have a face to face EREP 2022!
Gr@v members António Morais and João Gonçalves participated, in-person, in the Workshop on the Standard Model and Beyond that was held at the Corfu Summer Institute, Greece, between the 29th of August and the 8th of September.
E. Barausse (SISSA, Italy) and C. Herdeiro (Gr@v) are the guest editors for a Classical and Quantum Gravity Focus issue on the Impact of EHT Observations for General Relativity. For more information see the focus issue webpage.
Lorenzo Annulli (Ph.D. IST-Lisbon, 2021) and Etevaldo Costa Filho (M.Sc. U. São Paulo, 2020), joined our group as a new post-doctoral researcher and Ph.D. student, respectively, from the fall 2021. Welcome!
The XIV Black Holes Workshop will be held at the University of Aveiro, on 20-21 December 2021. Registration was open on September 1st 2021. See the webpage for more information.
C. Herdeiro was one of the invited lecturers of the 10th school on astrophysics and gravitation, held from 2-7 September at IST-Lisbon, delivering a course on "Theoretical and Observational Cosmology".
Jorge Delgado, a Gr@v Ph.D. student was an invited speaker at the Grav@Zon group meeting. The talk is available in YouTube.
Great way to close the academic year with a sunny (and refreshing) group hike in the beautiful walkways next to Paiva river. Enjoy the holidays!
Zeus Sales Moreira a student from Universidade Federal do Pará, Brazil, successfully defended his M.Sc. thesis entitled “Black hole spacetimes: radiation emission and light rings” on July 29th. The thesis was advised by C. Herdeiro and L. Crispino and the examiners were E. Radu and G. Olmo (U. Valencia). Congratulations Zeus!
