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.
Eugen Radu, a research fellow at U. Aveiro since 2013, became a staff member under a tenured (assistant) researcher position. Dr. Radu has given a central contribution to the development of the Gr@v group over the last decade and his permanent hiring is an important step towards the consollidation of the group.
P. Cunha gave an invited online seminar for the Research Center of Gravitation at Lanzhou University (China), on 17/10/2022.
The VII Scalar Field Dark Matter Workshop, organzied by the Mexican Strong Gravity community will take place in León, Guanajuato, México, and online, on the 27-28 October 2022. C. Herdeiro is one of the invited speakers.
Prof. Humberto Campins came to the University of Aveiro to talk about asteroids at the outreach centre "Fábrica Centro de Ciência Viva". Gr@v member M. ZIlhão was one of the hosts, opening the session.
Gr@v member C. Herdeiro presented an invited colloquium at the Physics Department of the U. Illinois, at Urbana-Champaign, home of several Nobel laureates in Physics such as Anthony J. Legget (laureate in 2003) and John Bardeen (laureate in 1956 and 1972).
