Ricardo Monteiro

Dr. Ricardo Monteiro is a Reader in Theoretical Physics at Queen Mary University of London, affiliated with the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences and the Centre for Fundamental Physics. He holds a Royal Society University Research Fellowship.

Education:

• PhD in Theoretical Physics from DAMTP, University of Cambridge
• Bachelor's degree in Physics from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisbon

Research Interests: Dr. Monteiro specializes in high-energy theoretical physics, with a focus on perturbative quantum field theory, quantum gravity, and string theory. His work centers on the double copy formalism connecting gauge theory and gravity, and ambitwistor string models for scattering amplitudes. He explores applications to black hole solutions, loop-level formalisms, and classical spacetime solutions.

Publications Trends: Recent work emphasizes advancements in double copy techniques, loop-level scattering amplitudes, and celestial algebra structures, with applications to gravitational waves and string theory. Key themes include anomaly interpretations, NS-NS spacetime constructions, and Moyal deformation frameworks.

Scientific Awards:

• Royal Society University Research Fellowship

Advising & Grants: Supervises undergraduate, master's, and PhD students. Leads projects on ambitwistor strings and classical solutions via double copy. Secures grants from the Royal Society, STFC, and EPSRC for initiatives like 'Celestial Construction of Scattering Amplitudes' and 'Amplitudes, Strings, and Duality'.

Research Teams: Collaborates with Dr. Riccardo Gonzo and Dr. Lecheng Ren in his research group. Engages in interdisciplinary efforts through the SAGEX network, contributing to reviews on scattering amplitudes.
