ICTS

This workshop is organised in connection with the Gravitational Wave Open Data Workshop (GWODW 2026) by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration. This will include a series of lectures, where participants will learn the basics of gravitational-wave (GW) data analysis using state-of-the-art tools from the LVK collaboration. The workshop will feature a set of lectures delivered by ICTS researchers, followed by hands-on tutorials based on GWODW 2026. The workshop is open to students currently residing in Bengaluru.

Eligibility Criteria : This workshop is intended for postgraduate and graduate students interested in GW astronomy. A small number of highly motivated senior undergraduate students may also be considered. Participants should have a basic understanding of Python programming. No travel or accommodation support will be provided.

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.
