SUMMARY:Save the Date: VA-WHPC Student Lightning Talks V
DESCRIPTION:On April 22\, 2026\, VA-WHPC hosted 8 students as they gave 3-minute 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.We gratefully acknowledge Lenovo for sponsoring the student presentation awards. \nThanks to all who attended this fantastic opportunity to explore a diverse range of topics in High-Performance Computing (HPC)\, and congratulations to the winners: \n\nFirst place: Stephen Tivenan\, Virginia Commonwealth University\nSecond place: Allyson Morris\, College of William & Mary\n\n \n			\n						Watch the recording (TBD)\n					 \nPresenters\n1.
