The summer school is intended for women students studying in first year B.A/B.Sc./B.E./B.Tech. or equivalent degree and having Mathematics as one of the major subjects/courses, during the academic year 2021-2022. Over a period of two weeks, the school shall aim at helping young students gain broader exposure to problem solving skills in mathematics and statistics at the undergraduate level.Specific topics that will be covered are:Advanced CalculusLinear AlgebraProbability StatisticsThere will be problem solving sessions across topics.Each topic will have a brief introductory lecture session on a focus area followed by problem solving sessions on it. The participants are expected to work together to solve the problem sheets that will be given out in these sessions. Each day will also feature two popular science lectures by distinguished researchers. The topics will range from across all sciences and the lecture will be made accessible to all the participants. Other daily events will inc...

​This school is part of the annual ICTS summer schools on gravitational-wave (GW) physics and astronomy. Recent observations of nearly a hundred GW signals from coalescing binaries of compact objects have firmly established the field of GW astronomy. Physicists and astrophysicists are using these observations to not only study the properties of individual GW signals but also of the populations of these compact binaries as well as their progenitor stellar population. Recognizing this, this year's summer school will focus on foundational lectures on the astrophysics of GW sources, including the structure and evolution of stars that form progenitors of compact objects; and the evolutionary history of compact binaries and their population statistics. These lectures are organized into two graduate-level courses:Courses:Stellar structure, evolution, collapse and supernovae: Bernhard Müller (Monash University, Australia) Compact binary evolution, rates and population modelling: Christopher Be...

Machine learning is increasingly seen as a method with which to attempt difficult problems in a range of fundamental science areas. Over a period of a decade, dramatic developments in ML architectures and the availability of fast computing has allowed us to overcome many of the limitations associated with standard scientific methodologies. Additionally, some of the most significant contributions have been made by research divisions in commercial enterprises. This has led TIFR as whole to seek to build an industry-academia consortium to take on significant disciplinary challenges using ML techniques in collaboration with industry partners. This day-long discussion meeting brings together interested faculty from all TIFR centres and ML scientists in industry to develop a scientific collaboration plan.Participation in this discussion meeting is by invitation only.

The Astrophysical Relativity group at ICTS-TIFR in Bengaluru will organize a Study Hub of the Gravitational Wave Open Data Workshop 2022 (https://gwosc.org/odw/odw2022) at the ICTS campus.The Study Hub will run on May 25th and May 26th. The workshop is only open to individuals residing in the Bangalore area, and ICTS is unable to provide accommodation to participants. Preference will be given to students.Registrations are closed.

The primary motivation of this meeting is to bring together investigators from diverse areas of ultracold AMO physics & quantum optics and discuss the nuts-and-bolts of recent developments in the field and find common grounds to cross-pollinate ideas. The primary emphasis will be on contemporary topics currently being pursued by Indian researchers. The meeting will be held in a hybrid offline-online mode.This is the second in the series of TAMIONs meetings. The topics  are:Ultracold atoms, molecules and ionsQuantum opticsQuantum thermodynamics and simulationEligibility:Physical participation is by invitation only. For online participation, we encourage faculty members, young researchers and students (who have completed at least 1 year of MSc by May 2022) to apply online.  ICTS is committed to building an environment that is inclusive, non-discriminatory and welcoming of diverse individuals. We especially encourage the participation of women and other under-represented groups.
