Scientists See Better Climate Models, Warmer Future
Michael Wehner of CRD was one of two lead authors and many contributors to a newly released IPCC climate assessment report. Among the findings in Wehner's chapter on long-term climate change were that most continents will continue to warm and rain and snowfall patterns will continue to shift worldwide. Read More »
Special Feature: Five Questions for Sudip Dosanjh
In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy’s focus on supercomputing in the month of September, Dosanjh answers five questions about supercomputers, rewards and challenges of running NERSC, and the return on DOE's invesment in supercomputing. Read More »
Supercomputers Helping Blaze Path to Cleaner Combustion
At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, applied mathematicians using supercomputers are working directly with combustion scientists to better understand the complex chemistry of combustion to develop devices that burn cleaner, are more efficient and can burn renewable fuels. Read More »
Clot Busting Simulations Test Potential Stroke Treatment
Researchers are using computer simulations to investigate how ultrasound and tiny bubbles injected into the bloodstream might break up blood clots, limiting the damage caused by a stroke in its first hours. Read More »

Special Feature: Five Questions For Kathy Yelick
In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy’s focus on supercomputing in the month of September, Yelick answers five questions about what intrigues her about supercomputers, how they can help save our world, and why more students aren’t going into computing as a career. Read More »
Robert Saye, 2013 Luis W. Alvarez Fellow
As the 2013 Luis Alvarez Fellow in Computing Sciences, Robert Saye will be developing numerical methods and computational tools for studying a wide range of problems involving multiple evolving interfaces. These problems include modeling how grains develop in metallic and ceramic materials, studying the fluid dynamics of multi-cellular structures in complex geometries, and modeling the multi-scale dynamics of liquid foams. His methods will also have applications in multi-region shape optimization and image segmentation. Read More »
