CS Postdoc Wins Berkeley Lab SLAM
What starts out 10 times the size of our sun, runs out of fuel, and collapses into a dense object about the size of Berkeley? Answering that question landed postdoc Revathi Jambunathan of the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering first place in the annual Berkeley Lab SLAM held Thursday, Sept. 17. Read More »
Machine Learning for Science Campaign
As experiments produce vastly more data than ever before, machine learning methods tailored to scientific data provide powerful tools for analyzing these complex datasets. Berkeley Lab researchers have been addressing these challenges for the last several years, and in August-September 2020, we featured some of their projects and postdocs in a social media campaign.
