Dr. Valerie Taylor, director of Argonne National Laboratory’s Mathematics and Computer Science Division, gave two lectures as part of the Gentile Interdisciplinary Lecture series on March 6 and 7. Her presentation highlighted the impact Argonne’s work on high performance computing is making on important problems in a variety of scientific disciplines.
In addition to inspiring the audience to consider pursuing computational approaches to problem solving, Dr. Taylor also inspired at least one student in other ways. Read the blog post below to learn how Heaven Silas was encouraged by Dr. Taylor’s talk.
