Five DOE CSGF Fellows to Present Research at SC11
Ames, Iowa (November 8, 2011) — As part of the Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF) program's continued focus on professional development – and as an opportunity to promote the fellowship within the high performance computing community – five current fellows will present their research at SC11 in Seattle, Wash., November 15 - 17.
- Mary Benage, a second-year fellow studying geophysics at the Georgia Institute of Technology, will give a talk titled “A multiphase model of the thermal evolution and dynamics of pyroclastic density currents from boiling-over volcanic eruptions.”
- Fourth-year fellow and Harvard University physics scholar, Douglas Mason, will speak on the subject of “Discrete Husimi Projections in graphene.”
- Britton Olson, a fourth-year fellow studying computational fluid dynamics, will give a talk entitled “Large-eddy simulation of an over-expanded rocket nozzle.”
- Second-year fellow and Harvard University applied physics scholar, Amanda Peters, will speak on the subject of “Time-dependent deformational forces in large-scale cardiovascular simulations.”
- Edgar Solomonik, a second-year fellow studying computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, will give a talk titled “Improving communication performance in dense linear algebra via topology-aware collectives.”
Daily presentations will take place in the Krell Institute booth (#107). Four talks have been scheduled for Tuesday, November 15 and Wednesday, November 16 (11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.), and three talks for Thursday, November 17 (11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.).
