Class of 26 Fellows Joins DOE CSGF

Location
Ames, Iowa
Date

A new class of 26 Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF) recipients will join the program in 2019, studying a broad range of subjects including chemical engineering, astronomy, computer science and computational materials science.

The DOE CSGF, established in 1991, trains and produces the country's next generation of leaders in computational science. Nearly 500 students have entered the fellowship, going on to support computing's capacity to advance science.

The DOE CSGF includes a track for those pursuing an advanced degree in applied mathematics, statistics or computer science with research interests that help use emerging high-performance systems more effectively. Students focused on issues in high-performance computing as a broad enabling technology and not on a particular science or engineering application are included.

As part of the program, fellows receive exceptional benefits including a yearly stipend; full payment of university tuition and required fees (during the appointment period); and an annual academic allowance. Renewable for up to four years, the fellowship is guided by a comprehensive program of study that requires focused coursework in the areas of science/engineering, computer science and applied mathematics. It also includes a three-month practicum at one of 21 Department of Energy laboratories or sites across the country.

Additional details for each fellow will be available via the program's online fellow directory on or after September 1, 2019. Meanwhile, please contact us for further information.
