Computing Sciences Summer Program 2024
Welcome to the 2024 Computing Sciences Summer Program!
Dear Program Participants,
Welcome to Berkeley Lab’s 2024 Computing Sciences Summer Program. I am Osni Marques, from the Applied Mathematics and Computational Research Division (AMCR) and the Summer Program Chair for 2024. As a member of this select group of faculty and students, your participation in the Berkeley Lab Summer Program will contribute important and valuable insights to your future professional development. You will have the opportunity to learn even more by attending a wide range of special events, presentations, and tours we have created just for participants in the program. Please check the table below for a schedule of these events.
The program will start on June 3, 2024, with a welcome address on June 4 by Ana Kupresanin (SciData Division Director) and Stefan Wild (AMCR Division Director).
I look forward to meeting you all, and I hope you will find your summer at the Berkeley Lab very stimulating.
