SIAM CSE 2021
by Taylor, Valerie E. 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

Next week is the SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE21)<https://www.siam.org/conferences/cm/conference/cse21>, scheduled for March 1 – 5. The meeting is organized by the SIAM Activity Group on Computational Science and Engineering and alternates years with the SIAM Conference on Parallel Processing for Scientific Computing. Computing at Argonne is very involved with the conference, with staff participating in over 100 conference components<https://anl.app.box.com/s/9xq4mh4onbekggdwo7s5rg3zt0vpkqos>. In particular, below are a few highlights: * Stefan Wild, Conference Co-Chair * Rick Stevens, invited talk on HPC and AI Approaches to Developing Covid-19 Therapeutics * Jini Ramprakash, organizer of a Broader Engagement Workshop * Paul Hovland, Jan Hueckelheim, and Krishna Narayanan, tutorial on Automatic Differentiation * Rajeev Thakur, talk on Programming Models for Performance Portability * Ashwin Renganathan, Romit Maulik and Bethany Lusch, organizers of a two-part session on Domain-Aware, Interpretable and Robust Machine Learning for Computational Science Argonne is a sponsor of the Broader Engagement program, which is an excellent opportunity for recruiting. Also, Sven Leyffer and Jeff Larson are managing the Argonne booth at the career fair and are still in need of volunteers. If you are attending SIAM CSE, please let them know if you are available to help with the Argonne booth. The Career Fair is scheduled for Wednesday, March 3, 9am – 1pm CT and 2pm – 4pm CT. Argonne is a SIAM institutional member, resulting in a registration discount. The discount can be applied up to a week after the conference, if you notify SIAM.

Request for Research Highlight Slides
by Taylor, Valerie E. 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

Hello Everyone: It is that time of the year to request research highlight slides in preparation for our DOE ASCR Research Reverse Site Visit and other events. Research highlights focus on research accomplishments, broadly interpreted. Attached please find two files – DOE highlight template and four sample highlights. The template includes details on the components of the highlight slide (slides 1-3) and 3 different highlight formats (slides 4-6). For each highlight slide, it is important to include 1-2 paragraphs of prose or bullet points in the notes section of the slide to allow for others, such as program managers, to have sufficient information to include the highlight in a presentation. In the upper right corner of the slide, it is important to identify the funding for the research (e.g., ECP, LDRD, ASCR AM Base, SciDAC Institute RAPIDS, NSF, DoD, etc.). We welcome highlight slides that cover projects funded by other agencies , beyond DOE, or industry; please adjust the highlight template appropriately. The highlight slides provide a good summary of everyone’s work, thereby facilitating collaborations. For each highlight slide, please use the following file name convention: LastName-Topic-XXYY.pptx, where Topic is one of the 8 sub-folders provided and XXYY provides the date (e.g., 0218 for February 18). In this way, we can easily identify your latest version of a highlight. Slides should be uploaded to the appropriate subfolder in the following box folder: https://anl.app.box.com/folder/130013101661?s=yqo23wft4v99volzhbipojkt2agg7… Everyone is able to upload highlight slides into any of the following subfolders: Advanced Architectures AI-ML Applications Computational Science Data Management, Vis and Storage Systems Facilities (updates on JLSE, AI Testbed, Polaris, etc.) Foundations of ML, Data Analysis and Statistics Mathematical Optimization Operating Systems and Programming Models Other Highlights If you would like to delete one of your highlight slides, please contact Janet Werner (werner(a)mcs.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>). It would be most helpful to have the slides by Tuesday, March 16. If you desire to highlight a new accomplishment in the future, please upload into the box folder. Thanks, Valerie -- Computing mailing list Computing(a)anl.gov https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing

More student opportunities
by Habib, Salman 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

SCGSR opportunities (need to apply by May 5), note priority areas below. Salman The goal of the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is to prepare graduate students for science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission, by providing graduate thesis research opportunities at DOE laboratories. The SCGSR program provides supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students to pursue part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE laboratory/facility in areas that address scientific challenges central to the Office of Science mission. The research opportunity is expected to advance the graduate students’ overall doctoral thesis while providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the DOE laboratories/facilities. The SCGSR program is sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science’s Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS), in collaboration with the 6 Office of Science research programs and the DOE national laboratories/facilities. Online application and awards administration support is provided by Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE) under Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU). The SCGSR program provides supplemental funds for graduate awardees to conduct part of their thesis research at a host DOE laboratory/facility in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist within a defined award period. Collaborating DOE Laboratory Scientists may be from any of the participating DOE national laboratories/facilities<https://science.osti.gov/wdts/scgsr/How-to-Apply/DOE-Lab-POCs>. The award period for the proposed research project at DOE laboratories/facilities may range from 3 to 12 consecutive months.

Summer students
by Habib, Salman 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

HI Everyone, It's time to start thinking about summer students/interns. We will have a limited amount of funding to help with these and the priority will be to support new cross-cutting activities, preferably with other Divisions and Directorates. So if you have questions and ideas please ping Tim and me. Cheers Salman
