Panel overview
In April, NERSC is honoring graduate students, and what better way to celebrate than by spotlighting some of the brightest rising stars in high performance computing?
Join us for a special virtual panel discussion featuring recipients of the NERSC Early Career Award, where we’ll highlight the groundbreaking research, innovative problem-solving, and personal journeys of early career scientists who are shaping the future of computational science.
- Hear first-hand stories of how graduate students and postdocs navigated the path to high-impact research using NERSC systems.
- Learn what it really takes to move from curiosity to discovery in some of the most data-intensive, compute-heavy research domains.
- Discover tips and insights into proposal writing, debugging at scale, and balancing research goals with system limitations.
- Get inspired by peers who are making waves in climate modeling, materials science, quantum computing, AI, and more.
More than a panel, this community conversation is designed to uplift and empower the next generation of computational researchers. Whether you’re just starting out or are midway through your graduate journey, you’ll leave with fresh perspectives and a deeper connection to the NERSC community.
Come celebrate the incredible contributions of early career scientists, and maybe even picture yourself on this panel in the future.
