About the Workshop
Modern radio telescopes such as MeerKAT and the upcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA)
generate massive astronomical datasets requiring advanced methods in signal processing,
imaging, and computation. This workshop introduces participants to modern radio astronomy
data analysis through lectures, demonstrations, and guided hands-on sessions.
