DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Enzo Tapia\, Miron van der Kolk\, Yashwant Bothra (N
 ikhef)\n\nThis workshop will gather members of the Virgo and Finesse teams
  at Nikhef for a focused\, collaborative week of interferometer modeling u
 sing Finesse 3. Which is the latest release of the interferometer simulati
 on software developed for precision modeling of optical systems:https://fi
 nesse.ifosim.orgThe core goals of the workshop are to:Advance modeling stu
 dies that address current challenges in the O4 configuration\, particularl
 y those relevant to commissioning and sensitivity limitations.Support ongo
 ing design and simulation work for the O5 configuration\, including invest
 igations into optical layout changes and control strategies.Enable hands-o
 n collaboration across institutions and expertise levels\, fostering share
 d development of models\, debugging\, and interpretation of simulation res
 ults.Facilitate knowledge transfer and training for new users and contribu
 tors to Finesse3.The workshop schedule will be flexible to accommodate the
  needs of participants. Each day will include optional group check-ins and
  brief technical presentations to share progress and ideas. Outside of the
 se sessions\, participants are encouraged to work independently\, with hel
 p from the local Finesse team\, or in small groups on modeling tasks that 
 are most relevant to their current projects. \n\nhttps://indico.nikhef.nl
