Blue Waters Graduate Fellow: Michael Howard


Oct 7, 2016

The goals of my research are two-fold: (1) to develop massively parallel software for doing simulations of multiphase/complex fluids, and (2) to use this software to study enhanced oil recovery. I first plan to implement a developed algorithm for doing these types of simulations (multiparticle collision dynamics—MPCD) on GPUs. GPU acceleration will allow us to study problems at realistic length and time scales. To date, there has only been limited public availability of these types of codes, and so I plan to release the software open-source. I will then apply my software to study the initial stages of enhanced oil recovery—the process by which additional oil is extracted from geological formations.

Ten PhD students from across the country selected as Blue Waters Graduate Fellows


Apr 19, 2016

Ten outstanding computational science PhD students from across the country have been selected to receive Blue Waters Graduate Fellowships for 2016-2017. The fellowship program, now in its third year, provides substantial support and the opportunity to leverage the petascale power of National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois’s Blue Waters supercomputer to advance their research. The awards are made to outstanding PhD graduate students who have decided to incorporate high performance computing and data analysis into their research.
