Congratulations to Zakaria Belkhadria, who recently received his PhD from the University of Cagliari and the University of Geneva, and who was awarded a COST short-term scientific mission (STSM) grant within the CosmoVerse COST Action, which will fund his short visit to the University of Trento in October! Zakaria will be working with Max Rinaldi and myself on strong-field tests of modified gravity models which show promise in the Hubble tension context.
