A New "Frontera" for Science DiscoveriesOn August 28th, TACC, UT Austin, and the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced a $60 million award to support Frontera, TACC's latest leadership-class supercomputer. For his podcast, host Jorge Salazar took the opportunity to speak with Manish Parashar, Office Director for NSF's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, to discuss the changing landscape in advanced computing. | ||||
 | TACC at SC18Heading to Dallas for SC18? Stop by and visit TACC at exhibitor booth #3707. We'll be there all week talking with conference attendees about TACC-enabled science and opportunities to collaborate. | |||
 Molecular dynamics simulation of DNA capture and translocation through a graphene nanopore. | Nanopore Supercomputer Simulations Could Help Improve Medical DiagnosticsWater is nearly incompressible at normal scales, but using TACC supercomputers, scientists found they can control water compression at the nanoscale using an electric field. These findings could help advance medical diagnostics through the creation of nanoscale systems that detect, identify, and sort biomolecules. | |||
 Tim Cockerill, Director of User Services, TACC | Tim Cockerill Named New Director of User ServicesTim Cockerill is TACC's new director for User Services. Tim replaces Chris Hempel, who previously served as the center's director of User Services for 21 years, and retired from UT Austin in August. In his new role, Tim is managing the User Services group, where he oversees the allocations process by which computing time and storage is awarded on TACC's HPC systems. The User Services team is also responsible for user account management, training, and user guides. Congratulations, Tim, and thank you, Chris! | |||
 Scenes from the inaugural TACC Symposium for Texas Researchers (TACCSTER). Sahar Bakhshian (top left) won an award for Best Poster. | State of ScienceIn September, more than 100 computational scientists and students from 16 Texas academic institutions and six industry partners met in Austin for the inaugural TACC Symposium for Texas Researchers (TACCSTER). Scholars showcased their research, networked with other Texas-based scientists, and learned about the latest TACC systems and services. | |||
 Grand Bay estuary topography currently and under different future scenarios. | Dynamic Responses, Implications to Coastal Wetlands Under Sea Level RiseWhat will happen to coastal wetlands if sea levels rise? Research led by University of South Carolina and Louisiana State University marine scientists used advanced computing at TACC to model a number of scenarios in research published in PLoSONE. | |||
 Scenes from the Gateways 2018 Conference at TACC. | Gateways 2018 – Video RecapScience gateways allow researchers to access shared data, software and computing resources through web portals or a suite of desktop applications. Hosted by TACC, gateway developers from across the nation met at Gateways 2018 to learn, share, connect, and shape the future of the field. Reporters from Science Node were in attendance to explore why gateways are the secret sauce behind scientific discovery. | |||
 Underlying Causes of High Temperature Superconductivity in Copper-Based MaterialsResearchers from Harvard University shed light on the underlying causes of high temperature superconductivity in copper-based materials using simulations on TACC's Stampede2 supercomputer. The research may open a new avenue for designing materials with high-temperature superconductivity. |  (Left to right): Anna Dubrowski and Mahyar Sharifi Mood Welcome, Anna Dubrowski and Mahyar Sharifi Mood to TACC!Anna Dubrowski is a new engineering scientist associate with TACC's Data Management and Collections group. Prior to TACC, she was an assistant professor and the data management librarian at Texas A&M University. Anna received her master's degree in Information Science at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Mahyar Sharifi Mood works on the DesignSafe-CI project and contributes to research, development, and support activities involving the natural hazards engineering research community. He received his PhD in Civil Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin and a GIS certificate from Oregon State University. Welcome Anna and Mahyar! |  Internships at TACC!Working at TACC means being part of a dynamic and exciting environment where talented individuals can pursue their interests, engage their imaginations, and work at the forefront of computational research. Working with us also means living in Austin, an exceptional city that thrives on innovation, culture, and creativity. | ||||
