There are several lines of research covered by the group:

Relativistic Astrophysics: We study the physics of black holes, neutron stars, and cosmological scenarios, focusing both on mathematical and numerical computation aspects of General Relativity.

Classical Gravitation. We study the physics of equilibrium configurations of non-relativistic self-gravitating fluid masses both at the analytical and numerical levels.
