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
2nd School on Black Holes and Gravitational Waves
Feb 10 (Mon) - Feb 14 (Fri), 2025
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. Topics that will be the focus of the lectures are:
- Gravitational self-force and tidal effects in black hole dynamics
- Numerical Relativity and its applications in cosmology, astrophysics and black hole physics
- Observational aspects of black holes and gravitational waves, including experimental tests of GR
We invite the interested researchers to register for the school before Nov 30, 2024. For registration details and other relevant information, please follow the links on the top of the page.
