Correlations play a fundamental role in many branches of physics, from quantum mechanics to particle physics and cosmology. In particular, the astonishing homogeneity of the angular distribution of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation across the sky (measured with high precision by the WMAP and Planck missions) requires of an inflationary epoch right after the Big Bang.
Are you interested in doing research in topics such as black hole physics/mathematics, gravitational waves, numerical relativity, cosmology and high energy particle physics? Do you have (or are you finishing) a M.Sc. degree in Physics or Maths?
If so, and you would like pursue a PhD at Gr@v, there's a few steps you need to follow.
Haroldo Lima Junior, Ph.D. student at the U. Federal do Pará, Brazil, advised by Prof. Luis Crispino, is visiting our group for 6 months (Sep 2021 - Mar 2022), under a CAPES "doutorado sandwich" funding.
The COST Advanced School on the "Physics of Dark Matter and Hidden Sectors" will take place in Lund, Sweeden, from October 18-21st 2021. Gr@v members C. Herdeiro, A. Morais and F. Freitas are amongst the invited lecturers.
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.
Our group coordinated the "Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics" IRSES network (2012-2015). Here is a list of the global network meetings organized:
