An international team of astrophysicists with participation of the University of Zurich proposes a novel method to detect pairs of the biggest black holes found at the centers of galaxies by analyzing gravitational waves generated by binaries of nearby small stellar black holes.
Prof. Lucio Mayer is a PI of a European project that gained his team and his collaborators at UniBasel a EuroHPC Extreme Scale Access Award. This is the largest ever supercomputig allocation granted in Europe to a science project across all disciplines. The team will use it to deploy 22 million GPUs hours on the Lumi Supercomputer in Finland, the third fastest in the world, to run state-of-the-art simulations of how stars form. Read more:

GEORGE LAKE AWARD
This November, the first round of applications to the new George Lake Award are expected. The new award was created by the Merac Foundation in collaboration with our current Director Lucio Mayer to honour the memory of ICS founding Director George Lake, to foster novel developments and ideas in instruments, computer simulations and data analysis/AI for astrophysics and cosmology.
