A New Generation of Cosmic Superstring Simulations

José Ricardo C. Correira completed the B.Sc. degree in Physics at the University of Porto in September 2014 and his master's degree in Sept. 2016. In May 2022, he was awarded his doctoral degree jointly by three universities (including University of Porto). His research led to 8 publications in high-impact journals and one Best Poster Award. He has profited from visits to the Institute d' Astrophysique de Paris to collaborate with Prof. Patrick Peter and to the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge to collaborate with Dr. Amelia Drew and Prof. Paul Shellard. José also engages enthusiastically in outreach, having worked as a staff on a particle physics exhibition, taught high-school students numerical simulations on multiple occasions, job shadowed and informally helped students working with his supervisor.
