S8E2: Fellows Forge an Industry Collaboration
Über diesen Podcast
Science in Parallel focuses on people in computational science and their interdisciplinary research to solve energy challenges, discover new materials, model medicines and more — using high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence. Host Sarah Webb interviews researchers about their career paths and motivations. Our conversations cover topics such as integrating emerging hardware, the effects of remote work, the role of creativity in computing and foundation models in science.
Our show is for curious, science-oriented listeners who like technology. You don't need a deep background in science and computing to learn from our guests.
Science in Parallel has been shortlisted for the Publisher Podcast Awards: for 2022 Best Technology Podcast, 2023 Best Science and Medical Podcast and both categories in 2024 and 2025. It is produced by the Krell Institute and is a media outreach project of the Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF) program.
