Strong Gravity News & Events
Interdisciplinary research from Gr@v
Gr@v co-authored the article in the journal Computers in Biology and Medicine, with title “Next-generation chemotherapy treatments based on black hole algorithms: From cancer remission to chronic disease management”. This is an interdisciplinary research applying ideas from black hole physics to create a new methodology in chemotherapy treatments. See here the UA coverage.
Workshop at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute
Gr@v members C. Herdeiro, H. Olivares, and J. Novo delivered talks in the workshop "Lensing and Wave Optics in Strong Gravity", held at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) in Vienna, Austria, from December 9-14th. The workshop also featured contributions from Gr@v members I. Sengo and P. Cunha, with P. Cunha additionally serving as a co-organizer.
Post-doctoral grant
An 8-month post-doctoral grant is open within the project 2024.05617.CERN, "Towards precision tests of ultralight dark matter with imaging and gravitational waves". Applications should be submitted between 15 December 2024 and 5 January 2025. More info in the attached files and the Euraxess site.
Carolina Benone awarded by L’Oréal/Brasilian Academy of Sciences/Unesco
Carolina Benone, former group member, within a joint Ph.D. with UFPA-Brazil, was one of the winners of the 19th edition of "For Women in Science", an initiative carried out by the L’Oréal Group in Brazil in partnership with the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC) and UNESCO. Congratulations Carolina! More info here.
VI Amazonian Symposium on Physics
The VI Amazonian Symposium on Physics took place in UFPA, Belém, Brazil, from 18-22 November 2024, also with the partnership of the NewFunFiCO network. Many exciting talks and science and the unsurpassable hosting by the UFPA group and Brazilian collegues.
Colloquium at Scuola Superiore Meridionale
C. Herdeiro gave an invited colloquium at Scuola Superiore Meridionale, in Naples, overlooking the powerful Vesuvius. The colloquium took place in the premises of Accademia Pontaniana, the oldest Academy in Europe

In the first part of my talk, I give on overview of some recent results concerning the two-body problem in general relativity at high post-Newtonian (PN) order. I will present the energy flux at 4.5PN order, the equations of motion at 4.5PN order, and the memory contributions to the 3.5PN order waveform.
