[DMANET] Los Alamos Co-Design Summer School

Ph.D. students with background in
- graph algorithms,
- discrete mathematics, or
- linear solvers
are encouraged to apply for the 2015 Co-Design Summer School.

The Los Alamos IS&T Co-Design Summer School was created to train future scientists to work on the kinds of interdisciplinary teams that are demand­ed by today's challenges. Launched in 2011, the summer school recruits top candidates in a range of fields spanning domain science, applied mathematics, computational and computer science, and computer architecture. Participants work together to solve a focused problem that is designed to build the skills needed to tackle the grand challenges of the future. Foremost among these skills is the ability to work across disciplines with other team members, while employing their own unique expertise. This is the heart of co-design. Students will receive a fellowship to cover relocation and living expenses.

For the 2015 Summer school, one task of interest is to develop and apply graph partitioning methods for speeding up computations by increasing the amount of available parallelism and reducing the amount of communication of high performance simulations codes. Selected candidates will closely collaborate with members of a multi-year project on quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) simulations including other Ph.D. students, postdocs, and scientists in areas such as material science, quantum chemistry, applied mathematics, and computer science.

Applicants for the summer school must

- be enrolled in a PhD program at an accredited university in a relevant field of study, and

- be available to live and work in Los Alamos, New Mexico for 10 weeks, sometime from mid-May through early September of 2015 (exact dates TBD).



To apply for the school, please send a current CV to apply-2015-codesign@lanl.gov<mailto:apply-2015-codesign@lanl.gov> with cc to djidjev@lanl.gov<mailto:djidjev@lanl.gov>.
