JETSET member Dr. Filippo Camilloni has been invited to the VII Amazonian Symposium on Physics, to give a short introductory course on “Essentials of Black Hole Electrodynamics”.
The Symposium took place on took place on 22nd – 26th September 2025 at the Federal University of Pará in Bélem, Brazil. The lectures have been recorded and are publicly available online. Find the lectures recorded in the side column!
The Amazonian Symposium on Physics is targeted for young researchers and graduate students in Physics, as well as for last-year undergraduate students, wishing to learn about Gravitation, from some of the world’s leading experts. Under the NewFunFiCO project it allowed the the interaction and transfer of knowledge amongst various nodes of the consortium.
Filippo Camilloni is a Postdoc researcher at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main and member of the ERC project JETSET. His main area of research focus on high-energy astrophysics, in particular on the Blandford-Znajek mechanism for the emission of relativistic jets by supermassive black holes as M87*, energy-extraction process from spinning black holes and the theoretical foundations of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics and force-free electrodynamics. Filippo is also interested in binary systems orbiting supermassive black holes (so-called b-EMRIS), where he contributed obtaining general-relativistic versions of the von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai mechanism recently observed in the S cluster around SgrA* .
