USA (CA) - CS341-Topics in Computer Science at LLNL

CS341: Topics in Computer Science at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Livermore (Bay Area), California

Last Offered: Fall 2023

Students in the class with Dr. Danielle Ellsworth, Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, worked on a simulation code using the techniques, tools, and motivating questions that are used on large scale simulation codes, such as climate models and quantum chemistry simulations. They also learned about venture capital and met with Accrew Capital, the venture capital that supported the class. After spending the first week on campus becoming acquainted with the code they would be working on and the supercomputing environment, the class traveled to Livermore, California, to begin their adventure at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), which conducts research in physical and life sciences, engineering, and computing in support of its missions of nuclear deterrence, and climate and energy security.

Course led by Prof. Danielle Ellsworth
