We can all tell when a movie of some everyday event, such as a kettle boiling or a glass shattering, is run backwards. Similarly, we all feel that we can remember the past and affect the future, not vice versa.
To close the unusual academic year 2019/20 some Gr@v members got together, celebrating science and the summer with a great lunch and view!
Felipe Freitas, postdoc at Gr@v is contributing to the fight against COVID-19 using artificial intelligence tecniques.
On February 19th 2015, motivated by the centennial of General Relativity celebrated in 2015 and the considerable growth of the scientific community in Portugal studying relativistic gravity, the Portuguese Society of Relativity and Gravitation (SPRG) was formally installed. The photo shows the founding members (from left to right) C. Herdeiro, V. Cardoso, J. Natário and J. Lemos present during the installment of the society at a notary in Lisbon.
Gr@v member C. Herdeiro had the pleasure to discuss some mysteries of the Cosmos, in particular the Big Bang and black holes, with an audience of young, thirsty minds at Colégio de Lamas. Many thanks to all the Colégio de Lamas staff and in particular Professora Maria de Luz Costa for making this possible.
The CIDMA research unit meeting 2020 took place on the 22-23 January at the Mathematics Department of Aveiro University. João Oliveira and Sonia Anton were the two Gr@v representatives in the scientific programme.
The Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT) launched the third edition of the "Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus". The call will open from January 30th to February 26th 2020. This call funds post-doctoral positions at various seniority levels. Our group is open to support good candidates in Strong Gravity, Astrophysics and High Energy Physics. For further information contact the group coordinator C. Herdeiro (herdeiro@ua.pt).
Professor Marcus Werner from Kyoto University visited Gr@v and presented a seminar on Optical Geometry and Constructive Gravity, on September 30th 2019.
