GWFreeride Workshop in Sexten
In January 2026 we held GWFreeride: Carving the AI Gradient in Gravitational-Wave Astronomy, a workshop at the Sexten Center for Astrophysics in the Italian Dolomites.
The workshop brought together researchers in AI and gravitational-wave astronomy to map out challenges and opportunities for the coming decade. Topics included simulation-based inference, waveform modeling with neural networks, population inference, the LISA global fit, non-Gaussian noise mitigation, and data analysis strategies for next-generation observatories like the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer.
The meeting was organized by myself, Davide Gerosa (Milano-Bicocca), Max Dax (Ellis Institute), and Natalia Korsakova, with the support of the Sexten Center for Astrophysics.
