PhD and Postdoctoral Positions I am delighted to announce the opening of new PhD and Postdoctoral positions in my group, funded by the ERC Advanced Grant “De Tenebris”. These positions are at the crossroads of general relativity, gravitational wave astrophysics, and dark matter phenomenology, and will be hosted at GRAPPA — the University’s center of excellence in gravitation and astroparticle physics, located at the lively Amsterdam Science Park.

“100 Years of Quantum Physics” Conference I just returned from an inspiring conference in Göttingen, organised by the German Physical Society to celebrate 100 years of quantum physics. It was in the summer of 1925 that Werner Heisenberg, seeking relief from his hay fever on the island of Helgoland, drafted the paper that changed physics forever. Back in Göttingen, together with Max Born and Pascual Jordan, he developed the first mathematical framework of the new theory — known as matrix mechanics — which marked the birth of modern quantum physics.

Physics-IQ Benchmark Do generative video models learn physical principles from watching videos?

Intrigued by this work by Motamed et al. at Google DeepMind. Do AI models learn the physics at play in videos or are they 'just' pixel predictors? Authors find visual realism does not imply physical understanding. Yet. Eager to see how these models evolve.. physics-iq.github.io
