School on Modeling and Simulation of Gravitational Waves


Fecha: 13 de noviembre 2023
Hora de inicio: 00:00 hrs.

In this school, we will offer participants an introduction to gravitational wave modeling, emphasizing aspects such as the context and scientific relevance, mathematical formalism, and implementation in HPC software. Each of these parts will be led by international experts.

The target audience is composed of postgraduate students (Master’s and Ph.D.) and/or researchers who wish to get started in the mathematical and numerical modeling of gravitational waves. Given the practical nature of the classes (computational modeling), the number of participants is limited to 35 people. If necessary, the organizing committee will select possible participants based on academic criteria, gender equality, and geographic diversity.

The School on Modeling and Simulation of Gravitational Waves will take place in person at the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM), Universidad de Chile, from Monday, November 13 to Friday, November 17, 2023.

Organizing Committee

  • Hanne Van Den Bosch, Center for Mathematical Modeling – Universidad de Chile
  • Paola Rioseco, Center for Mathematical Modeling – Universidad de Chile
  • Tomás Andrade, Universidad de Barcelona

Speakers

Alicia Sintes

Alicia Sintes (Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Universitat de les Illes Balears) is an expert in gravitational wave data analysis and has been a member of LIGO for more than 20 years. From within the collaboration, she has led the study of gravitational waves from its beginnings. She will be in charge of introducing the relevance of the area as well as the discoveries in recent years and future challenges.

Luis Lehner

Luis Lehner (Research Faculty, Perimeter Institute) is an expert in numerical simulation of Einstein’s equations and has contributed to the development of relevant formalisms and implementations for the study of gravitational waves and fundamental physics, has also been a member of the Gravitational Wave International Committee.

Tomás Andrade

Tomás Andrade (Lecturer at the Institut de Ciencies del Cosmos of the University of Barcelona) is a member of the LIGO-Virgo and EinsteinTelescope collaborations and is dedicated to simulating black hole collisions.
