Professor Daniel Price from Monash University, Australia will be the lecturer. The main goal of this School is to teach students how to write hydrodynamic codes from scratch. Professor Price will also guide students on how to use his professional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics code for astrophysical applications.

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@monash.edu) and Yong-Zhong Qian (qian@physics.umn.edu).

Applicants will be considered until May 21, 2017.
