HSF-India Scientific Computing Workshop - IIT Guwahati

24 Nov 2025, 08:00 → 28 Nov 2025, 18:30 Asia/Kolkata

David Lange (Princeton University (US)), Peter Elmer (Princeton University (US)), Rafael Coelho Lopes De Sa (University of Massachusetts (US)), Verena Ingrid Martinez Outschoorn (University of Massachusetts (US)), BIPUL BHUYAN, BIPUL BHUYAN (Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati), Sovan Chakraborty (Indian Institute of Technology)

People are the key to successful software. The HSF-India project aims to promote the development of international research software collaborations. This is the eighth in a series of workshops for software and data analysis skills essential for doing research software in physics. Our curriculum builds upon the successful series of workshops. 

This workshop covers

• Scientific Python
• Basics of machine learning
• Software for the DUNE experiment
  
  

This event is organized primarily for PhD students and masters students from the surrounding region. However, anyone is welcome to attend. 

The dates of this workshop are 24 to 28 November. Registration is open however the deadline for full consideration has passed (November 2). There is a registration fee of 2000 INR.  The fee will be collected after registrations have been accepted. This fee covers the registration, lunches and tea/coffee breaks during the workshop.  A limited number of scholarships are available well deserving candidates. (information to be provided later).

We expect to accommodate about 50 students from Guwahati and the surrounding region.  Feel free to contact us in case of questions. In the case that we can not accept all applications, preference will be given to PhD students from the surrounding region who are engaged in programs for high-energy physics, nuclear physics, astroparticle physics and data science pursuits.
