A call for a 1 year postdoctoral grant in Strong Gravity or High Energy Physics, to integrate the Gravitational Geometry and Dynamics Group within the CIDMA research Unit, is open from 5 to 20 April 2021. See attached document for details: call in Portuguese and English.
Talking about the Universe, black holes and what a scientist does was the challenge for the "Meeting with a Scientist" event, with Gr@v's C. Herdeiro, organized by Fábrica, the outreach centre in Aveiro (Centro Ciência Viva). The audience (fourth graders) really proved the famed curiosity of the young ones.
Two Gr@v projects, one led by A. Morais and another by C. Herdeiro, were funded in the FCT-CERN IC&DT call for proposals. More info here.
The XIV Black Holes Workshop took place at the University of Aveiro, on 20-21 December 2021, organized by our group, gathering more than 80 researchers to discuss the (astro)physics and mathematics of black holes. It was really great to have a real face to face meeting, even if we could only take off the mask (momentarily) for the group photo. Thank you to all participants!
Gazeta de Física, the Bulletin of the Portuguese Physics Society, has devoted a special issue to Black Holes, with guest editors. C. Herdeiro and J. S. Lemos, featuring 12 papers from scientists working in Portugal on this exciting and timely topic.
Read the U. Aveiro coverage on the Stanford University researcher's ranking, led by John P. A. Ioannidis, that features several Gr@v members.
Nico Sanchis-Gual was one of the 8 selected researchers for a junior grant, nationwide, within 74 applicants in the Physical Sciences panel, in the fourth individual call for scientific employment stimulus, promoted by FCT. Congratulations Nico!
Our group had the pleasure to host the visits of Prof. Tiberiu Harko and Prof. Miguel Angel Sanchis Lozano, who presented stimulating seminars on modified gravity and particle physics/cosmology.
The 2021 update of the Stanford/Elsevier author database of the standardized citation indicators, features Gr@v members C. Herdeiro and E. Radu in the career long data and (additionally) P. Cunha and N. Sanchis-Gual in the single year 2020 data. All information and data files available here.
