    On Thursday May 22, 2025, faculty, students, and HPC staff gathered to showcase scientific impact, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, and identify emerging scientific needs in the context of High Performance Computing (HPC).

    Topics included brain science and imaging analysis, modeling of electronic materials, fluid dynamics, and cosmic radiation modeling — to name a few — in the form of talks, poster sessions, and shared refreshments.
