Gravitational Waves and AI-Assisted Research

Ondas Gravitacionales e Investigación Asistida por IA — a five-day graduate course. Two subjects taught at once: how gravitational-wave astronomy works, and how to do research with AI agents. Each day carries one of each.

Day	The science hour	The AI hour
1	GW fundamentals	what an agent is
2	Ground-based detection	navigating unfamiliar code
3	Astrophysical modelling	scaling out: jobs, remote, parallel
4	Pulsar timing arrays	a team, and what its members do to each other
5	Open problems	content written down for a machine to read

Before the first class

setup/ — Python and four packages, and doctor.py, which changes nothing and prints a report of what is missing. Fixing whatever it reports, with the agent rather than by hand, is the first exercise of the course. It opens on GitHub, where the instructions are written.

Everything else

The exercises — every exercise the course sets, in one file. Each one names a way of working first and a physics task to run it on second; the physics is interchangeable and you may bring your own.
The final project — a problem of your own, done the whole way through, with the provenance written down as you go.
The projects — every student's final project, with its author and links to the repository, the page and the PDF.
Using the tools — the vocabulary, in one place, for anything the sessions assume you have met.
