Speakers and Program of the school

The morning will be dedicated to classical lectures whereas the afternoon hands-on sessions will be organised on the various tools that will be proposed. 

Participants are expected to come with their laptops.

Introduction to tools and methods

Introduction to the most important methodologies used in astrophysics will be given. The hands-on session will be proposed by all speakers and the participants will be allowed to choose depending on their main interests. The main families of methods including analytical and numerical calculations, synthetic observations, fit and adjustment and machine learning will be covered.

Numerical simulations

Benoit Commercon (ENS-Lyon, France) & Noé Brucy (ENS-Lyon, France)

Synthetic Observations:

Valentin Le Gouellec (ICE/CSIC, Spain) & Juan Soler  (Vienna Obs, Austria)

Fit and adjusment to the data

Frédéric Galliano (AIM, France)

Machine Learning and statistical methods

Erwan Allys (ENS, France) & Victor Ksoll (Heidelber Univ, France)
