Save the Date: VA-WHPC Student Lightning Talks
November 12 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
On November 12th VA-WHPC hosted 8 students as they give lightning talks on their research to members of the HPC community from across Virginia. Each presenter had 3 minutes and 1-2 slides to showcase their research and following each presentation, we had a short Q&A to dive deeper into any questions.
Thanks to all that attended this fantastic opportunity to explore a diverse range of topics in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and engage with the next generation of researchers!
