First Simons Collaboration event at QMUL on Initial Data issues in Numerical Relativity
Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation8 November 2025
Lots of great discussions and talks on the initial data problems of General Relativity!
In November the workshop "Initial Data in NR" was held in School of Mathematical Sciences. This was the first event of the new Simon's Collaboration for Black Holes and Strong Gravity to be held at QMUL, kicking off our participation in this exciting new international network. Researchers from Nottingham, Cambridge, Princeton, AEI Potsdam, Leuven and others joined us for this 3 day event focussed on generating new collaborations and solving outstanding problems in the generation of suitable physical data for numerical relativity simulations of black holes in beyond GR theories. The event started with a bang as we watched the 5th November fireworks from the 5th floor common room, and overall was a great success!
