SIAM Student Chapter Industry Series: Dr. Rachel Clipp, R&D Staff, Kitware Inc

Posted on by

Kitware develops and supports modeling and simulation platforms that power medical training, planning, and predictive applications for improved patient treatment and outcomes. Our capabilities include whole-body computational physiology models for faster than real-time simulation, surgical planning, and guidance applications, high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics for patient-specific treatment planning, and virtual/augmented reality solutions for immersive training, and patient-specific image-to-model and mode-to-simulation workflows. Our innovative applications are needs driven for academic, clinical, and commercial settings for improved patient care. Kitware’s open source approach encourages community involvement and adoption of our state of the art technologies.

Mathematics in Industry Seminar

Posted on by

At 4 PM on October 17 the NCSU SIAM student chapter will be holding a Mathematics in Industry  seminar in SAS 2102. Steven Hamilton from Oak Ridge National Laboratory will be discussing the DOE Exascale Computing Project. Here is his abstract:

 

The DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP), a collaborative effort between the DOE Office of Science and the National Nuclear Security Administration, is aimed at accelerating the development of both hardware and software for the next generation of supercomputers, which will be capable of computational performance in excess of one exaflops (10^18 floating point operations per second).  ECP is divided into three main research focus areas: applications development, software technology, and hardware technology.  In this talk, we will briefly discuss each of the focus areas and describe a number of locations where mathematicians and computational scientists are heavily contributing.  Particular focus will be placed on highlighting ECP subprojects in which Oak Ridge National Laboratory plays a significant leadership role, including modeling and simulation for nuclear reactors, materials science, and fusion energy.
