“Science is more essential for our prosperity, our security, our health, our environment, and our quality of life than it has ever been before.”
- remarks by President Obama at the National Academy of Sciences Annual Meeting on April 27, 2009
Join the community of the country's top computational scientists and engineers.
Fellows in the Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF) program are using high performance computing to better understand fundamental properties of the world and universe around us, and to solve complex problems in areas of national importance, such as climate change and sustainable energy sources.
The tremendous benefits and opportunities these students receive have a lasting impact on their lives.
Fellow Reflections
Alejandro Rodriguez
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Field of Study: Condensed Matter Theory
Practicum: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Hometown: Miami, Fla.
"The DOE CSGF program appealed to me due to its emphasis on excellence and support. Aside from the superb...benefits, the requirements of the program seemed to offer an incredible opportunity for intellectual and professional growth..."
Milo Lin
California Institute of Technology
Field of Study: Physics
Practicum: Brookhaven National Laboratory
Hometown: Los Alamos, N.M.
"The chance to participate in supercomputing at a national laboratory really appealed to me. Networking with other fellows and top scientists has been an eye-opening experience as well. Of couse, the generous stipend didn't hurt either."
Jack Deslippe
University of California, Berkeley
Field of Study: Computational Condensed Matter Theory
Practicum: Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Hometown: Mount Pleasant, S.C.
"I knew about the great places past fellows have gone, was intrigued by the chance to spend time at a national lab and looked forward to the chance to mix with a group of computational scientists from different fields."
Sarah Richardson
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Field of Study: Human Genetics & Molecular Biology
Practicum: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Hometown: Baltimore, Md.
"I look forward to going to DC every summer to reconnect with other fellows and to hear about their research, and I treasure the sense of progress I have after every year of my program of study..."
Brenda Rubenstein
Columbia University
Field of Study: Theoretical Chemistry
Practicum: Los Alamos National Laboratory
Hometown: Saddle Brook, N.J.
"I love to imagine experiments in all sorts of fields and test them without having to buy millions of dollars of equipment and wait years for reasonable results. Only computer simulation allows your scientific imagination to wander without having too much reality set in."
Anne Warlaumont
University of Memphis
Field of Study: Computational Developmental Psycholinguistics
Practicum: Argonne National Laboratory
Hometown: Chappaqua, N.Y.
"I knew that if I were given the opportunity to join this community, attend the annual conferences and perform a practicum, I would be challenged and encouraged by people who fully appreciate the challenges of computational science..."
Tal Danino
University of California, San Diego
Field of Study: Dynamics of Systems Biology
Practicums: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2008, 2009)
Hometown: Tarzana, Calif.
"The practicum experiences broadened my research scope tremendously and helped me establish many professional ties. The conference in June is also an exciting time to look forward to."
Special Announcements
DOE CSGF Eligibility Change
Please note: DOE CSGF eligibility requirements have changed beginning with the 2013 application year. The fellowship will no longer accept second-year graduate students. Senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students are eligible to apply. Learn more about eligibility and program requirements.
