Faculty: Apply by Sept. 29 for 2017 Sustainable Research Pathways Fellowship Networking Event
Faculty are invited to apply for the opportunity to attend a networking event with Computing Sciences staff at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where scientists tackle pressing scientific and engineering problems using some of the fastest supercomputers, computer science and applied math tools and methods, and high-speed networking. The application deadline for the Sustainable Pathways Research Fellows event is Friday, Sept. 29. Selected faculty will be invited to the networking event, to… Read More »
Students, Faculty Head Back to School, but a Few will be Staying On
Their posters rolled up after a lively Aug. 3 presentation session, nearly all of the students and guest faculty working in the Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences area are now back home, preparing for the new school year. But not all of them. Rafael Zamora and Tom Corcoran from Hood College in Maryland have had their stays extended as they are applying deep learning techniques to classifying specific protein structures that could lead to more effective drugs for fighting cancer. Both Zamora and… Read More »
A First: Trapping Noble Gases in 2D Porous Structures at Room Temp

Targeting Better Cancer Drugs through Berkeley Lab Partnership
Sally Ellingson and Derek Jones of the University of Kentucky, Lexington, spent the summer working in CRD to use machine learning to enhance a model for predicting how drugs will bind to specific proteins. Read More »
Two CS Researchers Receive 2017 Early Career Awards
ESnet's Mariam Kiran and CRD's Lin Lin have both received 2017 Early Career Research Program awards from the Department of Energy’s Office of Science. Now in its eighth year, the award supports exceptional researchers during critical stages of their formative work by funding their research for five years. Read More »
NERSC Sims Show How Recycled Atoms Boost Plasma Turbulence
Using NERSC's Edison supercomputer, physicists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have modeled how recycled neutral atoms, which arise when hot plasma strikes a tokamak fusion reactor’s walls, increase plasma turbulence driven by what is called the “ion temperature gradient.” Read More »
New Simulations Could Help in Hunt for Massive Mergers of Neutron Stars, Black Holes
Working with an international team, Berkeley Lab scientists have developed new computer models to explore what happens when a black hole joins with a neutron star – the superdense remnant of an exploded star. Read More »
