Fundamental Physics with LISA
The Workshop "Fundamental Physics with LISA", coorganized by the Solvay Institutes, APC and Perimeter Institute, will take place in Brussels from 26-28 April 2022. C. Herdeiro is one of the invited speakers.
Alexandre Pombo's Ph.D. exam
Alexandre Pombo successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis, entitled "Black holes and solitonic objects with bosonic fields" on April 8 2022. The Ph.D. committee included Arnaldo Martins (President, UA), Daniela Doneva (Tubingen), Yves Brihaye (Mons), Carolina Benone (UFPA), Pedro Avelino (IA, UP) and Carlos Herdeiro (UA, advisor). The thesis was co-advised by Eugen Radu. Congratulations Alexandre!

Topological solitons play an important role in many areas of Physics. In some cases they constitute the {\em normal modes} of field theories in the strong coupling regime. There is a class of topological solitons that are special. They are solutions of first order differential equations (self-dual eqs.) that also solve the second order Euler-Lagrange equations.
12th Iberian Gravitational Waves Meeting
The 12th Iberian Gravitational Waves Meeting will take place at the University of Minho, in Braga, from 6-8 June 2022, co-organized by our group. More information in the event's webpage.

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are by far the most extensively studied class of cold dark matter (CDM) as the correct dark matter abundance is easily reproduced with cross sections around the weak scale. They have been extensively searched for by many experiments (direct and indirect detection, and colliders) with no success.
Jorge Delgado's Ph.D. Exam
Jorge Delgado successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis, entitled "Spinning Black holes with scalar hair and horizonless compact objects within and beyond General Relativity" on March 24 2022. The Ph.D. committee included José Pedro (President, UA), Betti Hartmann (UCL), Yasha Shnir (JINR), Luis Crispino (UFPA), Lara Sousa (IA, UP) and Carlos Herdeiro (UA, advisor). The thesis was co-advised by Eugen Radu. Congratulations Jorge!
Gr@v in national TV
Gr@v made an appearance in Portuguese National TV, in the show UAU, "Science without limits", co-produced by RTP and the University of Aveiro. Episode 14 was devoted to space, and our group talked about gravitational waves and the possibility they can give us information on dark matter, based on this article.
