En esta inspiradora charla, el Dr. Diego Blas nos invita a explorar una de las fronteras más fascinantes de la física moderna: el universo invisible que se revela a través de las ondas gravitacionales. Estos sutiles estremecimientos del espacio-tiempo, predichos por Einstein hace más de un siglo y detectados por primera vez en 2015, han transformado radicalmente nuestra manera de observar el cosmos.A lo largo de la ponencia, descubrimos cómo las ondas gravitacionales actúan como nuevos mensajeros cósmicos, permitiéndonos escuchar fenómenos extremos como la colisión de agujeros negros o la fusión de estrellas de neutrones, eventos inaccesibles a los telescopios tradicionales. Gracias a ellas, no solo ampliamos nuestra comprensión del Universo, sino que también nos acercamos a responder preguntas fundamentales sobre su origen, su evolución y las leyes que lo gobiernan.Una charla que combina ciencia de vanguardia, curiosidad humana y una nueva forma de mirar y escuchar el Universo. Ideal para quienes desean entender cómo la física actual está redefiniendo nuestro lugar en el cosmos. Diego Blas és professor d’investigació ICREA al IFAE (Institut de Física d’Altes Energies), des de 2023. Abans, va ser investigador distingit Beatriz Galindo Senior al Departament de Física de la UAB i IFAE des de 2021 a 2023.La seva carrera internacional inclou etapes destacades com a investigador postdoctoral a l’EPFL, l’Escola Politécnica Federal de Lausana (on va desenvolupat noves teories de gravetat quàntica i el codi CLASS, referència en cosmologia), el CERN —on va ser científic titular entre 2014 i 2018— i professor titular al King’s College London.La seva recerca se centra en la cosmologia teòrica, la física gravitacional, la matèria fosca i les ones gravitacionals, amb projectes innovadors que combinen tecnologia de precisió (com dispositius quàntics) i astrofísica per explorar noves formes de detectar aquests fenòmens en entorns com púlsars o satèl·lits.En reconeixement al seu treball transformador, va rebre el Premi Buchalter de Cosmologia el 2022 per un article publicat a Physical Review Letters, valorat pel seu gran potencial per detectar ones gravitacionals en la franja dels microhercios, obrint així una nova finestra d’exploració sobre l’origen de l’univers. A més, ha estat guardonat amb una beca ERC Synergy de la unió europea i la Beca Leonardo 2024 de la Fundació BBVA per projectes de detecció d’ones gravitacionals amb tecnologies quàntiques i amb òrbites de satèl·lits.És conegut no només per portar la física teòrica cap a l’avantguarda, connectant la recerca bàsica amb tecnologies punteres i preguntes cosmològiques profundes, sinó també pel seu interès a explorar la frontera entre art i ciència, i compartir els descobriments més capdavanters amb la societat.

- 4:29Career in Media | Vansh Mehra | TEDxKIIT World School Youthhis talk breaks a common myth: marketing, branding, and media aren’t just business tools—they’re life skills. In today’s world, visibility decides credibility. If you don’t tell your own story, the world will tell one for you—and you may not like that version. Marketing is no longer a department; it’s the language of modern life. Branding isn’t about logos or taglines—it’s the promise you make, and marketing is how people remember that promise. Media has become the new oxygen, turning visibility into trust and trust into opportunity. For students, this field isn’t just a career option—it’s an ecosystem. Every profession, from startups to doctors to creators, depends on storytelling and presence. With AI entering the picture, the future belongs to those who blend technology, creativity, and human insight. The core message is simple: start building your personal brand now. Because the future doesn’t belong to the most qualified—it belongs to the most visible, authentic, and courageous voices. Vansh Mehra is the Founder and Director of Digisharks Communications Pvt. Ltd., a company he built with a simple idea — brands should feel human.His work blends strategy with storytelling, helping businesses earn visibility that actually means something.
