Individual meetings
by Habib, Salman 10 Feb '19

10 Feb '19

Hi Everyone, As you probably know, my schedule is a bit messy during the transition period. Starting from Feb 13, I hope to follow the schedule below: Monday AM – HEP Monday PM – CPS Tuesday AM – CPS Tuesday PM – HEP Wednesday AM – HEP Wednesday PM – CPS Thursday AM- CPS Thursday PM – Go where needed Friday AM – CPS Friday PM – HEP That said, undoubtedly there will be some element of chaos until the end of this month. Nevertheless, I would like to start setting up individual meetings with all the CPS staff members ASAP. Please send times that are generically good for you to Samantha Tezak (stezak(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>, cc'd) and we'll start setting up meetings (Samantha has the best knowledge of my schedule, such as it is). Now, I know some of you personally already, but many of you I do not. So, if you suspect I have no idea what you work on, this is what you do: Suggest one grad level textbook, one recent review article, and one or two recent papers that you think are a breakthrough in your field (or very interesting anyway) and I'll do my homework before we meet (send this info along to Samantha as well). All the Best Salman ********************************************************************** Salman Habib Division Director, Computational Science Division Deputy Division Director (Interim), High Energy Physics Division Argonne National Laboratory Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, University of Chicago Northwestern Argonne Institute of Science and Engineering, Argonne National Laboratory/Northwestern University Email: habib(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> **********************************************************************

Introduction --
by Habib, Salman 02 Feb '19

02 Feb '19

Hi Everyone, A short email as I am getting started in the new position -- I am now getting training-related and other official emails from the Lab so I hope you will not be too surprised to receive the occasional reminder or some similar email from me. During the transition period my schedule will be very messy, but I do want to meet everyone in the Division individually as the very first order of business. Tim and I will figure out how best to do this. Best Salman
