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

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.

Fwd: Seminar Announcement: Self-Driving Labs Seminar
by Habib, Salman 08 Feb '21

08 Feb '21

Hi Everyone, Thanks for attending the All-Hands meeting today and providing your input on multiple topics. I'll also take this opportunity to urge you to attend the interesting seminars below. All the Best Salman -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Seminar Announcement: Self-Driving Labs Seminar Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2021 21:17:14 +0000 From: Mulligan, Silvia P. <smulligan(a)anl.gov><mailto:[email protected]> To: CELS Seminars <seminars(a)cels.anl.gov><mailto:[email protected]>, CPA Seminars <seminars(a)anl.gov><mailto:[email protected]> Self-Driving Labs Seminar Date: Monday, February 15, 2021 Time: 3:00-4:00 p.m. Seminar Agenda/Speakers: 3:00pm – Rick Stevens – SDL Overview 3:10pm – Tom Brettin – Bio 3:20pm – Ilke Arslan – PSE 3:30pm – Mike Ford – EGS 3:40pm – Ian Foster – Software, Data, and the APS 3:50pm – Rick Stevens – Wrap-up Self-Driving Labs Description There is an opportunity to bring together the power of large-scale robotic laboratories with high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. To lead in this novel area, Argonne is developing an emerging thrust in AI-driven Large-scale Automated Scientific Experimental Laboratories (Self-driving Labs) aimed at accelerating discovery in materials, chemistry, biochemistry, biology and energy. We are moving forward on pilot projects in Self-driving Labs to demonstrate the end-to-end concept with the goal of creating momentum on the concept of AL-based experimental loops that use robotic platforms to carry out high-throughput experiments under the control of a machine learning-based optimization and lead generation system. Organizing our efforts at Argonne will rapidly demonstrate capabilities and build crosscutting teams that have experience to drive a broader research agenda in this space. This year, we envision working on a specific set of driver problems, roughly two or three per domain, where a domain is biology, chemistry, materials, polymers, etc. The idea of having two or more per domain is to, from the very beginning, build generalization into the capabilities. The core demonstrations should not be overly optimized for a specific problem, but instead be designed as a general capability that can be easily retargeted to new problems, with addition of new instruments or reagents or with reprogramming, but without the need to build a whole new infrastructure and a whole new software stack for each problem. As such, Rick Stevens, Tom Brettin, Ilke Arslan, Mike Ford, and Ian Foster will be delivering a lab-wide Self-driving Labs Seminar on Monday, February 15, 2021 for all interested in participating in this work. The Seminar will give an overview of the Self-driving Lab concept, as well as lay out specific next steps. An upcoming Self-driving Labs Hackathon is scheduled for February 23-25, 2021. All interested are welcome to attend.
