The Centre for Strings, Gravitation and Cosmology (CSGC) – a research centre instituted as part of Institute of Excellence (IoE) initiative of the Government of India at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras), Chennai, India is organizing the
Second School on Black Holes and Gravitational Waves
Feb 10 (Mon) – Feb 14 (Fri), 2025
to be held at IIT Madras.
The proposed school is intended to introduce beginning Ph.D. students and Postdoctoral fellows to research themes of current interest in Black Hole Physics and Gravitational waves. The lectures will be complemented by tutorial sessions that will help provide hands-on experience to the participants in employing the tools and techniques discussed in the lectures directly in their research work. The four main topics that will be the focus of the lectures are:
1. Observational aspects of black holes and gravitational waves, including experimental tests of GR – I (Sumanta Chakraborty and Shasvath Kapadia)
2. Observational aspects of black holes and gravitational waves, including experimental tests of GR – II (Sumanta Chakraborty and Shasvath Kapadia)
3. Numerical Relativity and its applications in cosmology, astrophysics and black hole physics (including introduction to GRChombo) (Eugene Lim)
4. Gravitational self-force and tidal effects in black hole dynamics (Adam Pound)
We invite the interested researchers to register for the school before Nov 30, 2024.
