Biographic Notes
Pedro Avelino is a lecturer at the Physics and Astronomy Department of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto. He was awarded a first degree in Physics/Applied Mathematics (Astronomy) by the University of Porto in 1991, a Master degree by the University of Sussex in 1992 and a PhD by the University of Cambrige in 1996. He is a member of IA since its origin. Current research interests include: evolution and cosmological consequences of defect networks; observational tests of cosmological models; dark matter and dark energy; varying fundamental couplings; modified gravity; reionisation history of the Universe; inflationary models; primordial black holes; mass inflation inside black holes; interface dynamics in condensed matter and biology; stellar physics and asteroseismology.
