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.
Four new research students have joined Gr@v this fall: Jenzhi Yang, Ivo Sengo, Vasileios Vatellis and João Pino. Welcome!
Nicolas Sanchis-Gual, the only member of the LIGO-Virgo-Kagra collaboration working in Portugal, officially joined Gr@v and our research unit CIDMA. After his Ph.D. from the University of Valencia, Nico worked as a postdoctoral researcher at CENTRA-IST. He is an expert on Numerical Relativity and Gravitational Waves from dynamical binaries. Welcome Nico!
Watch here a talk on the 2020 Nobel Physics Prize given by C. Herdeiro at the invitation of the Centre for Theoretical and Computational Physics of the University of Lisbon.
A call for an Initial Level Doctorate Researcher in Particle Physics at our group is opened. Deadline: 12th of November 2020.
C. Herdeiro delivered an invited 5 lectures mini-course for Beijing Normal University on "Asymptotically flat black holes with hair in D=4", from October 13 to 27. The host was Professor Hongbao Zhang.
The XIII Black Holes workshop will take place in Lisbon, on the 21-22 December 2020.
As support material for highschool textbooks C. Herdeiro discussed with Professor Manuel Fiolhais how one can explain the concept of black hole for highschool students and the 2020 Nobel physics prize.
Gr@v contributed to several media coverages of the 2020 Nobel Physics Prize. Expand to know more.
C. Herdeiro was one of the guests of Jornal 2, of RTP2, on October 6th, to talk about the Physics Nobel prize 2020. See the interview here (from 19:52 onwards).
The Scientific background document on the 2020 Nobel Physics Prize mentions the paper by C. Herdeiro and José S. Lemos (from IST Lisbon) on the genesis of the name "black hole" available in the arXiv (in English) and originally pubished in "Gazeta de Física" (in Portuguese).
