Welcome to the first HSF-India hackathon.

Over the past few years, the HSF-India project has collaborated with various institutes to run a number of training workshops focused on topical lectures with short interactive exercise sessions. This hackathon event at U.Hyderabad will instead be group oriented and focus a much larger fraction of the time on actual coding with the aim of contributing to various open-source projects during the week. 

We are still in the process of gathering interested research groups and students.  Please contact us if you are interested in one of the planned topics or in seeding a new one.

Learn more about the HSF-India project at http://research-software-collaborations.org. 

This event is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation grant OISE-2201990.

Expected topics:

• EIC/ePIC simulation
• Julia programming and HEP Ecosystem/Tools
• Real-time Machine Learning and Triggering
• Advanced analysis tools

 

Mentors:

• Dr. Bhawna Gomber - University of Hyderabad
• Dr. Varun Sharma - University of Wisconsin - Madison
• Dr. Lino Gerlach - Princeton University
• Prof. Gordon Watts - University of Washington
