University of New Orleans doctoral student Naw Safrin Sattar, who is specializing in high performance computing, is one of 15 recipients of the 2021 Parallel Computing Summer Research Internship.
The internship with Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico is an intense 10-week program aimed at providing students with a solid foundation in modern high performance computing topics integrated with research on real problems encountered in large-scale scientific codes.
“It is a great opportunity to work on real-life computational problems and implement solutions with guidance from mentors with scientific and computational expertise,” Sattar said. “This guidance and the expertise will be very helpful in my Ph.D. dissertation works and my future career. I am looking forward to a great summer ahead.”
