Program Overview

At the virtual workshop we are offering this year we will base our program on the lectures from the 16th Synthesis Imaging Workshop that was held in 2018 in Socorro, NM. The recorded lectures are available online, and can be accessed through the links below (please hold still while we add the few remaining links below).

During the virtual workshop we will offer live Q&A sessions that will be based on questions from participants and further discussions with the lecturer. We will schedule the Q&A session for the fundamental lectures only, but you are more than welcome to watch the science lectures while taking a break from the heavy lectures on the interferometry theory.
