VII Black Holes Workshop
The XVII Black Holes Workhop will take place at the U. Aveiro, on the 19-20 December 2024. More info here.
High Energy Physics
High energy physics involves the study of the fundamental building blocks of nature at the shortest distances. These are the fundamental particles that are described by quantum fields such as the Higgs field found at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Our group studies theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics both from theoretical and phenomenological perspectives.
For our latest developments/activities in this area, please see the listing below.

Black holes Inside and Out
The stimulating "Black Holes Inside and Out" meeting took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, in August 2024. C. Herdeiro was one of the invited speakers. More info here.
Talks in Belém and Salinas
Within the decade long collaboration between Gr@v and the gravity group at Federal University of Pará, Brasil, C. Herdeiro visited the UFPA Campi in Belém and Salinas in August 2024, giving scientific seminars and outreach talks.
12 million CPU-hours awarded to our group
A computing proposal prepared by S. Gimeno-Soler, P. Cunha, I. Sengo and C. Herdeiro, and led by H. Olivares was awarded with 12 million CPU-hours at the supercomputer Mare Nostrum 5.
The project, titled "Exploring accretion and spacetime models for event-horizon-scale observations of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei", will explore new models of accretion flows and spacetime geometries for the targets of the Event Horizon Telescope using simulations as the one shown in the picture (Image credit: H. Olivares and P. Cunha).
