September 14, 2015 marks the dawn of a new era for astrophysics and astronomy. For it was the day humans were able to directly detect the existence of gravitational waves for the first time. It has opened a new window of seeing the heaven. Since then, numerous more detections of gravitaional waves have been made. These days, physicists routinely detect, analyse, and curate the data of gravitaional waves from various compact binary mergers. The study of gravitational waves appeals the physics greenhorns more than ever. The course PHY 561: Gravitational Wave Astrophysics aims to provide necessary theoretical knowledge to analyze and charecterize gravitational wave sources and the waves they generate.

In recent decades, general relativity (GR) has become an integral and indispensable part of modern physics. Due to its research potential, GR has attracted many contemporary researchers and students. The course 'PHY 441: Modern Relativistic Geometrodynamics' will explore most of the standard topics of the subject and provide a first-hand research experience on general relativity. Everyone has to submit one project for partial fulfilment of the course.
