Special Feature: Five Questions For Kathy Yelick
In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy’s focus on supercomputing in the month of September, Yelick answers five questions about what intrigues her about supercomputers, how they can help save our world, and why more students aren’t going into computing as a career. Read More »
Robert Saye, 2013 Luis W. Alvarez Fellow
As the 2013 Luis Alvarez Fellow in Computing Sciences, Robert Saye will be developing numerical methods and computational tools for studying a wide range of problems involving multiple evolving interfaces. These problems include modeling how grains develop in metallic and ceramic materials, studying the fluid dynamics of multi-cellular structures in complex geometries, and modeling the multi-scale dynamics of liquid foams. His methods will also have applications in multi-region shape optimization and image segmentation. Read More »

Special Feature: Five Questions for Berkeley Lab's CRD Director
In honor of DOE's supercomputing month, we asked Computational Research Division Director David Brown five questions about how applied math is making supercomputers even more powerful tools for scientific discovery. Read More »
Special Feature: Reducing Energy Costs with Better Batteries
A better battery—one that is cheap and safe, but packs a lot of power—could lead to an electric vehicle that performs better than today’s gasoline-powered cars, and costs about the same or less to consumers. Read More »
NERSC Calculations Provide Independent Confirmation of Global Land Warming Since 1901
Scientists report that land surface air temperatures estimated using a number of historical observations largely match the existing temperature measurements spanning the years 1901 to 2010. Read More »
