Multiscale Modeling of Astrophysical and Space Plasmas

June 24 - August 2, 2019

Center for Computational Astrophysics, New York City

 

Numerical astrophysics is now the main driver for research in theoretical investigations of astrophysical and space plasmas. Despite the growing significance of computational astrophysics, very few graduate programs in the world offer formal courses in algorithms and their applications to astrophysics. The "Multiscale Modeling of Astrophysical and Space Plasmas" summer school intends to fill this gap and provide students with a unique opportunity to learn basic algorithms and to apply them to research problems in astrophysics under the guidance of world-class experts.

 

The school program will include one week of lectures on a diverse set of subjects broadly related to astrophysics of compact objects (astrophysical MHD, kinetic physics, stellar structure and evolution, numerical GR, supernovae and compact object mergers), and students will work with mentors on research projects for five subsequent weeks. Students will work on projects which involve multi-scale modeling of astrophysical phenomenon, coupling different numerical approaches and codes. We aim to attract a strong group of 15 graduate students from research centers world-wide. The pool of mentors will include about 20 world-renowned researchers.  

 

Only students currently enrolled in a PhD program and able to attend for the full duration of the program are eligible to apply to the school.  There are no school fees and we will cover lodging for all selected students. Limited travel funding is also available. The application process will start on 1 December, and closes 15 January 2019. To apply, please visit the school website at https://astronyc.org/
