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.
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.
Great COST Advanced School on the physics of dark matter and the hidden sector, at Lund, Sweeden, co-organized by A. Morais. In the photo the Gr@v team members that attended the school with some close collaborators.
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.
Gr@v Journal Clubs for 2021/22 have started. Researchers/students from other groups/institutions wanting to attend (they are online) feel free to contact us.
Rodrigo Vicente, a Ph.D. student co-advised in our group, successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis on "The Gravity of Classical Fields and its effect on the Dynamics of Gravitational Systems", at IST Lisbon on September 21st 2021. Congratulations Rodrigo!
