PhD Student
@Biographic Notes
I am currently a PhD student at IA and FCUP under the MAP:Fis doctoral program. I have both a master's and a bachelors degrees in physics from FCUP.
My main research interests are in gravitation, csomology and space science, although most of my current work focuses on modified theories of gravity. More specifically, I am interested in characterizing and putting to the test models of gravitation that can explain the current accelerated expansion of the Universe without requiring dark energy.
