What past students are saying about the CTAO School.
Coline Dubos
2nd Year PhD Student, IJCLab
“Before I went to school, I didn't think I was really interested in the instrumental part of my work. But I was finally amazed by the telescopes and the incredible site of El Roque de los Muchachos, and it made me realise just how huge CTAO is, involving all the people who work there (researchers, engineers, technicians, science popularizers, etc.)."
Luca Riitano
4th Year PhD Student,
University of Wisconsin-Madison
“The school answered every lingering question I had about research topics like gamma-ray production mechanisms or extensive air shower physics, as well as giving me the opportunity to examine the hardware on current state-of-the-art IACTs in person. All this complimented by the beautiful locations in which the school took place and the new connections made with the lecturers and students alike.”
Sweta Menon
1st Year PhD Student,
University of Rome
"It was a unique learning opportunity not to just passively gain knowledge about Cherenkov Astronomy but also observe the actual data-taking process with LST-1 and MAGIC at La Palma with an added bonus of visits to Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) and Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC)."
Tatsuki Fujiwara
2nd Year Graduate Student,
Osaka University
“I had many valuable lectures and experiences from theoretical and observational perspectives, specifically, as an aspiring theorist, it was a great opportunity to visit and learn deeply about the LST-1…I will never forget the sight of the LST-1 against the backdrop of the Milky Way."
