X Amazonian Workshop on Gravity and Analogue Models
Our group is co-organizing the X Amazonian Workshop on Gravity and Analogue Models from 29 June to 3 July in Belém, Brazil. More info here.
Cosmology
Cosmology is the study of the large scale structure of the Universe, as well as its dynamics. Our group has been involved in the study and development of cosmological models, in particular to explain the accelerated phases of the cosmological evolution, dubbed inflationary phases.
For our latest developments/activities in this area, please see the listing below.

Oleg Tsupko joins Gr@v
Oleg Tsupko, an expert in several strong gravity topics including lensing and black hole shadows, joins Gr@v as a CEEC researcher from April 2026. Welcome Oleg!
Seminars in Prague
The Gr@v coordinator, C. Herdeiro, visited Prague to deliver two seminars, at CEICO and Charles University. The visit provided a great opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues in a city rich in scientific and cultural heritage - home to figures such as Kepler, Tycho Brahe, Einstein, Doppler, Mach, Bolzano, and Kafka. Many thanks to both groups for their kind hospitality and for making this visit possible.
Black Holes Go South
In the last week of January 2026, a research school on black holes and related topics took place in the beautiful setting of Licán Ray, Chile, nestled in a stunning volcanic lake region. C. Herdeiro was among the invited lecturers, with sessions held - quite fittingly - on whiteboards set up in the garden. The combination of great science and a relaxed, inspiring atmosphere made for a truly memorable event. Many thanks to Adolfo Cisterna and his team for making it all possible.
