Abstract

The Numerical Relativity community summer school aims to provide graduate students and postdocs with the tools needed to master and understand cutting-edge numerical relativity simulations. Our one-week lecture series is geared toward providing a comprehensive introduction to the numerical study of gravitational waves, relativistic fluids, and modified gravity. In addition, we hope to strengthen the ties between different code communities and plan hand-on sessions and hackathons to foster interaction amongst the participants. There will also be the opportunity for students and postdocs to interact with senior participants and lecturers of the ICERM workshop program.

As part of your application, please briefly answer the following questions in your personal statement:

  1. How does your research involve numerical relativity, or how do you plan to involve numerical relativity in the future?
  2. Do you have experience in computational physics and/or numerical relativity? Which, if any, numerical relativity codebases have you interacted with? (Note that previous experience is not required to attend the workshop.)
  3. We are planning a hackathon event, where participants join small groups of 3-5 people, ideally from different groups and codes, and work together to build a prototype over the course of about 2 days. If you have ideas for collaborative projects for the hackathon, please list them in the additional comments section.
