معرفی
João Pedro Trancoso Gomes Rosa is an Associate Professor at the Departamento de Física, Universidade de Coimbra, and Coordinator of the Masters in Physics program. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Theoretical Physics from the University of Oxford (2011), a Master of Advanced Studies in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge (2006), and a Licenciatura in Engenharia Física e Tecnológica from Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa (2005). His academic career includes postdoctoral research at the University of Edinburgh and Universidade de Aveiro, alongside visiting roles at international institutions.
Education:
- PhD in Theoretical Physics, University of Oxford (2011)
- MSc in Mathematics, University of Cambridge (2006)
- BSc in Engineering Physics and Technology, Instituto Superior Técnico (2005)
Research Interests:
Rosa’s work focuses on theoretical cosmology and high-energy physics, particularly primordial black holes, axion physics, superradiance phenomena, and warm inflation models. He explores how these concepts interface with dark matter, gravitational waves, and string theory. His contributions include groundbreaking studies on axion superradiant instabilities around black holes and the role of string axiverse scenarios in cosmological observations.
Articles:
His recent publications address cutting-edge topics such as axion dynamics in the string axiverse, primordial black hole evaporation, and thermal inflation. Key themes include testing new physics via black hole observations and refining inflationary models to align with cosmological data.
Grants & Projects:
Rosa has led or contributed to over 10 research projects, including leadership in the Strong Gravity and High Energy Physics (H2020-MSCA-RISE) and Dark Complexity (CERN-funded) initiatives. He has supervised 3 PhD theses and 9 MSc projects, mentoring students in topics like black hole superradiance and dark matter models.
Labs/Teams:
As a key member of the Universidade de Coimbra’s physics department and the Centro de Física, Rosa collaborates with global networks such as COST Action CosmicWISPers and the SKA Engage project. His interdisciplinary work bridges theoretical physics with observational astrophysics, aiming to uncover dark matter’s role in cosmic evolution.
