Luís Longo Micchi
Physics Multimessenger Astrophysics IGC

He holds a degree in Physics from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (2015) and a master's degree in Physics from the Brazilian Center for Physics Research (2018). He is currently a doctoral fellow at the Federal University of ABC. During his Ph.D., he spent six months (2019) at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (Canada) and, since February 2022, he has been working as a Visitor Scholar at the Pennsylvania State University (USA). Has experience in Physics, with emphasis on General Relativity and Gravitation, working mainly on the following topics: gravitational waves, Kerr black holes, General Relativity tests, exotic objects, General Relativity, and Data Analysis and Numerical Relativity.

About our wordmark
Monica Rincon Ramirez

The IGC wordmark was created by Monica Rincon Ramirez while she was a graduate student at the Institute. Monica enjoys drawing new connections between fundamental theory and observations. Her graduate work included general relativity, loop quantum gravity, and quantum fields in cosmological backgrounds; her thesis focused on effective quantum corrections to gravitational phenomena from spinfoams and applications to cosmology. She received her PhD in 2024.

The wordmark symbolizes the scope of research at the IGC. The base represents quantum gravity, evoking the quantum geometrical picture from spinfoams and loop quantum gravity — approaches studied at the Center for Fundamental Theory. The middle shows galaxies embedded in a smooth surface characteristic of spacetime in general relativity and the larger physical scales studied at the Center for Theoretical and Observational Cosmology. The top curves to an extreme representing a supermassive black hole accompanied by an energetic jet, with a binary black hole pair nearby — the high-energy phenomena studied at the Center for Multimessenger Astrophysics.
