Blue Waters Graduate Fellow: Sherwood Richers

The Blue Waters Graduate Fellowship was awarded to ten outstanding Ph.D. students in computational science. In this series we're featuring brief introductions to who they are and what they're trying to accomplish.

NCSA collaboration helps discover new dwarf planet

The Dark Energy Survey team have discovered a new dwarf planet that's more than 90 times farther from the sun than Earth is, making it the second-most distant minor planet in the known solar system.

Blue Waters supercomputer power-user profile: Seid Koric

Every year, many people perform research on the NCSA supercomputer Blue Waters, but very few can say that they've published research on Blue Waters an impressive 22 times, as NCSA's own Seid Koric has done.

Blue Waters simulations help unravel graphene heat-transfer riddle

A team led by Fatemeh Khalili-Araghi, University of Illinois at Chicago, simulated heat transfer between grain boundaries at the atomic level, finding that when the computer ''built'' grain boundaries with different mismatch angles, the grain boundary was not just a line, it was a region of disordered atoms.
