Events
Tools & Strategies for Successful Research Proposals: Research Design
February 5, 2020
12 - 1 p.m.
Regenstein Library, Room A-11
The goal of this session is to help you understand the process of academic research design. You will learn about preparatory work, including thinking through the practicalities of data collection, planning how to manage and analyze the data generated and thinking about how to present the findings of the research.
GPUs: Why They Are so Important and Why Everyone Hates Them
February 12, 2020
10:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Argonne National Laboratory
Graphics processing units (GPUs) will come to dominate the mid to high range of numerical simulation within the next few years. This seminar will discuss what architectural features make them inevitable for numerical computations and how these same features and other attributes make them so disliked by most developers of numerical simulation applications and libraries.
National Laboratories
We manage one of the world’s most preeminent research networks. From historic experiments in nuclear energy, developmental biology, and particle physics to today’s challenges of renewable power, dark matter, and microbial ecology, these institutions have long been at the vanguard of discovery.
Laboratory Safety
Research safety is essential to the responsible conduct of scientific inquiry. Contact the Office of Research Safety for more resources on campus-wise research laboratory safety, user training and information.
