Projects
Master thesis: Modified gravity from the view of backreaction
2024 - 2025
Center of Astrophysics of Univerisity of Porto, Porto
- Supervision by Jose Pedro Mimoso and Pedro Avelino from I-Astro
Analytical template for the Stochastic GravitationalWave Background generated by Cosmic Superstrings
2024
Center of Astrophysics of Univerisity of Porto, Porto
- Lead by Lara Sousa from I-Astro
- Research Grant financed by FCT, Uncovering the Nature of Cosmic Strings
- Analytical template for the Stochastic GravitationalWave Background generated by Cosmic Superstrings. In this project I explored how we can implement the VOS model to simulate the evolution of superstring networks.
Testing models of dark energy and modified gravitation
2023
Center of Astrophysics of Univerisity of Porto, Porto
- Lead by Carlos Martins from I-Astro within the group Phi in the sky
- Initiation Research Grant financed by FCT
- The main project was Astrophysical probes of fundamental physics
- Testing models of dark energy and modified gravitation, using Bayesian inference to determine which models are best fit to the data.
Bachelor thesis: Ultralight Dark Matter
2021 - 2022
Department of Physics, University of Aveiro, Aveiro
- Lead by Antonio Morais with the research group Gr@v
- Phenomenological modelling of dark matter as a Nambu-Goldstone Boson, by using a spontaneous and explicit symmetry breaking to appear an ultralight boson. And by the misalignment mechanism to see how this boson fits with the relic density of dark matter.
