A call for a 1 year postdoctoral grant in High Energy Physics, within the research grant “From Higgs phenomenology to the unification of fundamental interactions", PTDC / FIS-PAR / 31000/2017, is open from the 19th of April to the 14th of May 2021. See the eracareers announcement (in Portuguese and English) here.
Gr@v member Felipe Freitas will lecture a free course on "Introduction to computer vision with pyTorch". Classes will take place on Fridays (the next class will be April 9th 2021) every two weeks, from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm. More info below (in Portuguese).
Celebrating the international day of Mathematics, March 14th, which is also Einstein's birthday, C. Herdeiro gave an outreach talk in the Maths Dept. of Aveiro on "Pi and Einstein: from the Universe of Geometry to the Geometry of the Universe". It can be seen here (in Portuguese).
Within the context of the European COST Action GWverse, the community has sumarized the state of the art and propects for the future in a comprehensive roadmap: Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap. The GWverse roadmap, co-authored by our group, has been selected by the Editorial Board of Classical and Quantum Gravity (CQG) as one of the journal's Highlights of 2019-2020.
A recent Gr@v co-authored article is ranked #130 in all time media coverage of Phys. Rev. Lett. outputs. Watch here (in English) and here (in Portuguese) video explanations of the work.
The behaviour of low mass scalar fields around black holes is of great interest in the context of dark matter models consisting of a massive scalar field (such as the axion) an
The 2021 CIDMA meeting was held on January 21st 2021, online. Our group was represented by Felipe Freitas who discussed the applicability of machine learning techniques from particle physics and gravitational waves to medical applications. Watch here the talks of the 2021 CIDMA meeting.
Our group coordinated the "Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics" IRSES network (2012-2015). Here is a list of the global network meetings organized:
