[ASA] TDLI Summer School on Computational Astrophysics, May 17 to 25, 2018 (Shanghai, China)

[Alexander Heger]

Dear ASA members,

I would like to bring to your attention a seven-day Summer School on 
Computational Astrophysics that will be taught by Dr Bernhard Mueller 
from Monash University (morning lectures), with support from teaching 
assistants from Monash for the practical exercises (afternoons).  This 
should be comparable to an honours/masters unit.  Except there is no 
exam.  But we may have a certificate for successful completion.

Best wishes,
Alexander

The Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) in Shanghai, China is organising a 
series of summer or winter schools in the field of nuclear astrophysics. 
The inaugural Summer School on Computational Astrophysics was held from 
July 3 to 11, 2017.

The 2018 TDLI Summer School on Computational Astrophysics will take 
place from May 17 to 25, 2018 on the Minhang Campus of Shanghai Jiao 
Tong University in Shanghai, China.  Dr. Bernhard Mueller from Monash 
University, Australia will be the lecturer.  The main goal of this 
School is to teach students how to write and use hydrodynamic codes 
based on finite volume methods.  Dr. Mueller's expertise is in 
simulating core collapse supernovae

The School is designed for graduate students with significant research 
experience in astrophysics and beginning postdoctoral researchers. 
Interested applicant should ask his/her research advisor to send a 
recommendation letter to Professors Alexander Heger 
(alexander.heger at monash.edu) and Yong-Zhong Qian (qian at physics.umn.edu).

Applications received prior to March 31, 2018 will be given full 
consideration.

Approximately 30 participants will be accepted.  Attendance for the 
entire duration of the School is required.  The TDLI provides lodging 
(two students per room) for the nights of May 16-25, 2018 and meals on 
lecture days of the School for all participants.  There is a 
registration fee of RMB 2,000 or US $300, which covers coffee breaks and 
social events.
