The aim of this conference is to showcase the links between theoretical and observational astronomy, particularly highlighting their similarities in the context of modern computational techniques. We will show how theoretical/computational astrophysics can support observational astronomy and vice versa.
Advance your career by presenting your research to both, fellow postgraduate researchers (PGRs) and senior academics.
