The main research lines of the Gravitation and Cosmology Group at IEM are Loop Quantum Gravity and Cosmology (of which the group is pioneer in Spain), the Canonical Quantization of General Relativity, the development of computational methods in Gravitational Physics, and the study of black hole analogs in Condensed Matter Physics.

The main objectives of the group are the study and understanding of fundamental as well as unconventional properties of strongly correlated and mesoscopic systems, through the develompent of many-body techniques adequate to describe their exotic phases. Our research focuses on some of the most relevant emergent lines in the condensed matter field, like those of cold atom physics and graphene.

This research group investigates different highly topical subjects in Theoretical Nuclear Physics. This is a work on basic research which faces problems related to nuclear structure, reactions and decay properties of exotic nuclei. The main general goal is to develop theoretical models that could be applied to nuclei far from the valley of stability and to rear nuclear processes.
