Summer Students 2020

Welcome to the 2020 Computing Sciences Summer Student Program

On Tuesday, August 4, 10-11am PT, the Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences Summer Student Program hosted its annual poster session, showcasing the work of 100+ student interns, assistants, and affiliates who were mentored by staff from the Computational Research Division (CRD), the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Division (NERSC), and Scientific Networking Division (ESnet).

This poster session was held virtually. Posters and presentation videos are now available at https://bit.ly/2020_Posters_and_Presentations.

The 2020 Computing Sciences Summer Student Program at Berkeley Lab was supported by

Schedule of Events


Berkeley Lab's Computing Sciences organization innovates, develops, and deploys new tools and technologies to support research in areas of global climate change, combustion, fusion energy, nanotechnology, biology, and astrophysics. The scheduled presentations aim at giving you an idea of the extensive range of that research.
