APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR POSTDOC APPLICATIONS: DECEMBER 9, 2013 The main purpose of this project is a comprehensive study of black hole physics from a theoretic perspective, including the investigation of the impact that Black Holes have in disciplines other than general relativity. The project started in August 2009 and is scheduled to run for six years.
Current group members are:
