Summer Research Program Wraps with Poster Sessions

The Computing Sciences Area Summer Program wrapped up another successful year on Tuesday, August 2, with both virtual and physical poster sessions.

Some 113 participated in this year’s program (70 in-person, 43 virtually). About 60 presented posters detailing the research they conducted in conjunction with their Berkeley Lab mentors. As in the past two years, participants video-recorded poster presentations. In addition, both presented to live audiences and took questions: Remote participants on Zoom and in-person participants on the third floor of Wang Hall. A selection of photos of the in-person poster session is available online.

“As always, I am very grateful to my colleagues who make this program extraordinarily successful by mentoring researchers and giving workshops and seminars,” said Osni Marques, a staff scientist in the Applied Mathematics and Computational Research Division who has chaired the program for the last decade.

“It was great to see the students back at the lab,” said Marques, who also wished to acknowledge the team that supported both streams of the hybrid program. “The CS Area has put together a great team to ensure the continuing success of the summer program,” Marques said. The team included Lisa Bruzdzinski (program coordination); Lucy Radcliffe (seminar coordination and general support); Andrew Ratcliffe (operations and communications); Jason Salinas (weekly program support); Kerri Peyovich (poster session coordination); Seleste Rodriguez, Michelle Scoggins, and Madelyn Blair (poster program support); and Dionne Myers (Sustainable Research Program coordination).
