The Gravitation and Astrophysics group has 5 faculty members:

• Abbasi, Amir Masoud (Associate Professor)
• Ahmadi, Nahid (Associate Professor)
• Noorbala, Mahdiyar (Associate Professor)
• Nouri-Zonoz, Mohammad (Professor)
• Shojai Baghini, Fatimah (Professor, head of the group)

Research in our group is conducted on theoretical topics that are, in one way or another, related to Einstein's general theory of relativity (GR). From attempts to better understand GR by studying various phenomena, to investigations of modified theories of gravity. Cosmology and astrophysics are also arenas for applications of GR: from very early universe to the late time epochs. The diversity of these activities grow even further, when combined with developments in particle physics or speculative ideas of quantum gravity.
