Jorge Rocha, a GRIT/CENTRA member was awarded a prestigious Marie Curie Fellowship with the project "Rotational effects on strongly gravitating systems with matter (REGMat)". The prime goal of this research proposal is to deepen our understanding of BH dynamics in the presence of matter, and in particular the interplay between matter and the rotation of spacetime. This line of research will significantly advance our knowledge regarding the stability of more realistic (non- vacuum, non-spherically symmetric) BHs, as well as on outstanding issues, such as cosmic censorship.
Jorge will develop his research proposal at Barcelona University, with Roberto Emparan.
