Challenges and Innovations in Computational Astrophysics VI
A Hybrid Meeting covering all areas of Computational Astrophysics
September 29 - October 2, 2025
IISER Mohali, India
Rationale:
This is the 6th edition of the ChaICA series of meetings on computational astrophysics organised by IAU Commission B1: Computational Astrophysics. The meeting provides a forum especially for early-career researchers to present to their peers their work on computational algorithms, methods and new software projects. The talks can be a mix of both numerical methods and scientific results, but the focus of the meeting is on the computational and programming aspects. It is less formal than a scientific symposium, and so presentations on work-in-progress that does not yet have any scientific application/results are warmly welcomed.
Topics to be covered:
-
Data Management & Mock Catalogs
-
AI/ML Aided Simulations
-
Astrophysical Codes in the Era of GPU
-
Cosmological codes with Subgrid Models
-
Multi-scale simulations
-
Advances in Stellar Evolution codes
-
Particle Simulations and Kinetic Plasma codes.
