Geometry, Relativity and Cosmology

(GRECO)


Welcome to our group website

We are a mathematical-physics group that is focused on treating theoretical problems immersed in the areas of differential geometry, numerical relativity, and cosmology. Much of our research work is carried out using different analytical and numerical techniques, which in many cases involve handling specialized mathematical software or programming codes in various programming languages. Currently, the group has several undergraduates, master's, and doctorate students doing their thesis work and collaborating with our network of collaborators.

Below, you can find some basic information about our group such as our areas of research, staff members, how to reach us, etc. If you have some questions or have some interest in collaborating with us or join to our group, do not hesitate to contact us.
