Originally launched at MIT in 2012, Rising Stars is an academic and research career workshop for women; this year’s event is focused on computational and data sciences.
“It’s an honor to be selected, and I’m excited for the opportunity to share my work and meet other early career women across the computational sciences,” said Klion, who was nominated for Rising Stars by CCSE Group Lead Andy Nonaka. Klion’s current research focus is on high-performance simulations of magnetic reconnection, with an eye toward modeling pulsar magnetospheres. During the Rising Stars event, she will give a presentation on “First-Principles Simulations of Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection.”
This year’s Rising Stars conference was organized by the University of Texas at Austin’s Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, Sandia National Laboratories, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
About Computing Sciences at Berkeley Lab
High performance computing plays a critical role in scientific discovery. Researchers increasingly rely on advances in computer science, mathematics, computational science, data science, and large-scale computing and networking to increase our understanding of ourselves, our planet, and our universe. Berkeley Lab's Computing Sciences Area researches, develops, and deploys new foundations, tools, and technologies to meet these needs and to advance research across a broad range of scientific disciplines.
