The PIRE-EHT School on data analysis and modeling will be rescheduled for a future date. This page will be updated in a regular basis. Please join our mailing list to receive advance notification of new project events and details.

Held at the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University, August 12-16, 2019, this second education event was developed as a collaborative effort between CASPER and BH PIRE in order to combine strengths and offer a richer experience for participants of all levels. The event brought together over 100 heterogeneous system engineers and programmers from 10 countries to discuss instrumentation, and algorithm development and implementation in radio astronomy, as well as open-source tools and libraries.

The first PIRE school was held December 2 – 7, 2018 at Biosphere 2, a unique conference environment in the Sonoran Desert outside of Tucson, Arizona. The week’s activities were co-convened with an EHT Model Comparison and Feature Extraction Busy Week. Winter School students were introduced to concepts of Bayesian Inference, Algorithm Optimization, Parallel and GPU Computing, and Weather inferences for worldwide millimeter observations. Combined, the event was attended by 36 participants from partner institutions in U.S., Taiwan, Germany, and the Netherlands.
