Dear all,

I would like to advertise the Co-Design Summer School which will take

place at Los Alamos, NM next summer, sometimes from mid-May to

mid-September 2016 (exact dates TBD).

The Los Alamos ISTI/ASC Co-Design Summer School will bring together top

graduate students in the fields of physics, computational science and

mathematics. A team of six participants will work together on solving a

problem that is designed to build the skills needed to tackle the grand

challenges of the future. Foremost among the skills on which we focus is

the ability of students to work across disciplines with other team

members, while employing their own unique expertise. This is the heart

of Co-Design.

The scientific challenge of choice for this year is modeling neutron

star mergers and their kilonovae -- supernova-like transients that

accompany these dramatic cosmic cataclisms.

Please consult the following website for more information about the

school, the challenge and how to apply:

http://losalamos.github.io/cdss/index.html

Graduate students in the fields of astrophysics, computational code

design and mathematics of general relativity are encouraged to apply.

Application deadline is February 2016.

Please share with anyone who might be interested.

Best regards,

- Oleg Korobkin
