Upcoming panel discussion: How to Make Teams Tick
by Gupta, Rinku K. 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

Dear All, We welcome you to attend this upcoming panel session. If you have questions about this series or suggestions for future panels, please contact IDEAS-ECP members at Argonne: Anshu Dubey, Lois McInnes Curfman, Katherine Riley, Deb Stevens, or me. We welcome your suggestions. Best, Rinku From: IDEAS Project Outreach Lead <IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: "IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com" <IDEASProductivity(a)gmail.com> Date: Thursday, August 13, 2020 at 6:00 AM To: "Gupta, Rinku K." <rgupta(a)mcs.anl.gov> Subject: Upcoming panel discussion: How to Make Teams Tick The next panel in the Strategies for Working Remotely<https://ideas-productivity.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5438ff2caf245…> series is: How to Make Teams Tick 3:00-4:15 pm ET Thursday, August 27, 2020 Panelists: * Todd Coffey (Sandia National Laboratories) * Justin Lamb (Sandia National Laboratories) * Navamita Ray (Los Alamos National Laboratory) * Ryan Shaw (Sandia National Laboratories) * Tyler Shelton (Sandia National Laboratories) * Daniel Shevitz (Los Alamos National Laboratory) * Salome Thorson (Sandia National Laboratories) * Jan Velechovsky (Los Alamos National Laboratory) Moderators: * Angela Herring (Los Alamos National Laboratory) * Elaine Raybourn (Sandia National Laboratories) Abstract: Many teams have been working remotely for several months as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In some cases, teams were largely co-located and comfortable that way – they just seemed to tick. Now that teams have become fully virtual and can no longer rely on productivity practices driven by being face-to-face, how have they managed change? What personal challenges have they faced, and how are they bringing back into balance team dynamics, and individual well-being? What are they learning about themselves and each other that has been unexpected? In the fifth installment of this IDEAS-ECP panel discussion series, we bring together members of successful software teams to speak candidly about being disrupted by change and bringing their teams back into balance. Discussion protocol: Attendees are asked to type in their name and brief question in the chat accompanying the panel discussion. We will call on people to ask their question verbally in the order received, curating for uniqueness. Participation is free. Registration is required.

Early Career program in CELS
by Habib, Salman 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

Hi Everyone, The CELS leadership has been working to develop an Early Career assistance program for junior staff members. The goal of this program is to provide an opportunity for early career staff to receive mentoring in the areas of long-term planning, developing an R&D vision, and developing good presentations and elevator pitches. One key tangible goal of this program is to improve the proposal development and writing skills of the junior staff. Relevant to CPS, building a good collaborative skill set and wider scientific vision will be important elements of the broader context of this program; increased engagement with the rest of CELS and the Laboratory is expected to be a natural beneficial byproduct. Eligibility: Staff who are within 10 years of receiving a PhD or highest degree (although we will allow a few exceptions to this timeline). Long-term Research/Visioning: Develop a 5-year plan. Application Process: Eligible participants should submit a paragraph or two about their interest in this program, describing their research area and identified areas of opportunity. There should be sufficient (succinctly stated!) information to help in mentor selection. Please send this paragraph to me by 09/01/2020. Selections will be made via an internal CPS process. Expectations and Deliverables: Successful candidates will be matched with mentor(s) chosen from CELS; the mentor(s) and early career staff will be asked to develop a plan to identify what will be accomplished on a monthly basis for the period of October, 2020 through March, 2021. The 5-year plan should be aligned with the Argonne lab plan, the CELS strategy, and national scientific and DOE priorities (including that of specific program offices). By the end of March, it is expected that the early career staff member will have been sufficiently exposed to career and proposal development strategies; they should be ready with a written vision document (2-pages), draft milestones for a 5-year career plan, and an elevator pitch to the CELS DDs. Resources: We will use this program to build a repository of helpful links, successful proposals, reports, and helpful suggestions for proposal writing. As always, Tim and I will be happy to answer any questions. Best Salman

Welcoming Dimitrios Fytanidis
by Balakrishnan, Ramesh 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Hello All, I am happy to welcome Dimitrios Fytanidis to CPS and Argonne. Today is Dimitrios’ first day at CPS, and he will be working remotely for some time. He is reachable via his Argonne email address, and also via the CPS and cps_cfd slack channels. Dimitrios will be pursuing post-doctoral research under my supervision on a DOE/EERE funded Distributed Wind Project. His expertise is in fluid dynamics, with particular emphasis on turbulence modeling, and large scale flow simulations. His research work at Argonne will be on improving the predictive capability of flow simulations in the atmospheric boundary layer, and he has also evinced an interest in applying machine learning techniques to turbulence closure modeling. Please join me in welcoming Dimitrios to Argonne. Ramesh

Welcome Lisa Bartelment, new HR rep assigned to DSL and CPS
by Viel, Andrea M. 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Hello CPS and DSL, I'd like to share with you all a new addition to the CELS HR team, new HR representative assigned to CPS and DSL divisions, Lisa Bartelment. Lisa joined our team a couple of weeks ago and has been getting up to speed in order to support your HR needs. Some of you may have already met Lisa in your recent divisional lunch and/or coffee talk discussions but we wanted to also send a formal note to those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting her virtually. While Lisa will continue to transition HR activities from Christina Hanks (CELS HR generalist) over the next month, Christina will continue to shadow and cover work to ensure smooth onboarding and transition while Lisa gets a feel for our processes and workflow. She now is fully up and running on all systems to include Workday, Slack, Microsoft teams, etc. Lisa comes to us by way of the Department of Veteran's Affairs, Hines VA Hospital where she was an HR representative. She has also worked in various organizations in HR to include ADT Security, McDonald's Corporation and Stanley Black & Decker. Lisa's current hobby is learning to play the guitar and she has outside interest in bike riding, attending concerts and theater. She holds both undergrad and Master degrees in psychology. Please do help me in welcoming her aboard and many thanks to Christina for standing in the gap and ensuring your HR needs were met. Thanks, Andrea
