... this week was a big deal in the group with both Zhen and Tiago successfully defending their PhD Theses:
Nonlinear Dynamics and Stability of Compact Objects (Zhen Zhong, supervised by Prof. V. Cardoso),
Thermodynamics and statistical mechanical ensembles of black holes and self-gravitating matter (Tiago Fernandes, supervised by Prof. J. Lemos).
Here's a picture of them together, just before Tiago heard the result of his defense.Thanks are due to all members of the two Juries -- and congratulations to both Zhen and Tiago and their supervisors!
