Yasha Shnir (from Dubna, Russia) and Massimo Vaglio (from Rome, Italy) visited our group in June-July 2021 within the COST action GWVerse, to strengthen the collaboration with different group members, on several aspects of strong gravity. Thank you for your visit!
A call for a 2 years postdoctoral grant in Strong Gravity, within the research grant “Testing the Kerr hypothesis with gravitational waves and lensing", PTDC / FIS-AST / 3041/2020, is open from 1 to 20 August 2021. See attached document for details (in Portuguese) or the Euraxess announcement (in Portuguese and English) here.
A call for a 1 year grant for a M.Sc.holder, within the research grant “Testing the Kerr hypothesis with gravitational waves and lensing", PTDC/FIS-AST/3041/2020, is open. The call closes on June 30th 2021.
See attached documents for details or the eracareers announcement here.
C. Herdeiro was the invited speaker of the Tübingen Einstein seminar on April 16 2021.
A call for a 1 year postdoctoral grant in High Energy Physics, within the research grant “From Higgs phenomenology to the unification of fundamental interactions", PTDC / FIS-PAR / 31000/2017, is open from the 19th of April to the 14th of May 2021. See the eracareers announcement (in Portuguese and English) here.
Celebrating the 2020 Physics Nobel Prize for Black Holes, here is an outreach article published in Gazeta de Física (published by the Portuguese Physics Society) by C. Herdeiro. The article pdf can be found in attachment.
Gr@v member Felipe Freitas will lecture a free course on "Introduction to computer vision with pyTorch". Classes will take place on Fridays (the next class will be April 9th 2021) every two weeks, from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm. More info below (in Portuguese).
Celebrating the international day of Mathematics, March 14th, which is also Einstein's birthday, C. Herdeiro gave an outreach talk in the Maths Dept. of Aveiro on "Pi and Einstein: from the Universe of Geometry to the Geometry of the Universe". It can be seen here (in Portuguese).
Within the context of the European COST Action GWverse, the community has sumarized the state of the art and propects for the future in a comprehensive roadmap: Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap. The GWverse roadmap, co-authored by our group, has been selected by the Editorial Board of Classical and Quantum Gravity (CQG) as one of the journal's Highlights of 2019-2020.
