I am happy to welcome you to the summer school on Jet Physics and AI Methods, held from July 20–24. This will be an intensive, hands-on introduction to modern AI techniques for jet physics in heavy-ion collisions. It is open to students, post-docs and early-career researchers, with participation capped to maintain an interactive and effective learning environment.
The format combines lectures from ML/AI experts with guided work sessions, allowing participants to immediately apply new ideas in a collaborative setting.
The school is intentionally small and interactive, with time built in for discussion, troubleshooting, and shared problem solving. Each day includes provided lunches and coffee breaks to encourage informal conversations and collaboration, and will end with a brief reflection session on what worked, what didn’t, and what to try next.
Participation is limited, and attendees will be selected from applicants, with decisions communicated on June 1. There is a registration fee of $200.
All events outside of dinner will be held in the Rauch Business center, in Rausch 161 on the first floor. The address is:
621 Taylor Street Bethlehem, PA
Cars can be parked in the bottom floor of the Zoellner parking garage.
Note: During the summer the doors to the buildings are locked. Please ping us on Mattermost if you find that you are stuck outside!
AI/ML Experts for this workshop:
