Twenty-two postdoctoral fellows in the Computing Sciences Area have been chosen to present their research during a two-day symposium that is the culmination of a targeted communications training program designed specifically for postdocs. The symposium, open to the wider Berkeley Lab community, takes place January 30-31 in Wang Hall (Building 59), room 3101.
The program will showcase ongoing research projects in exascale computing; machine learning; data management and analysis for experimental science; modeling and simulation of complex scientific problems; computer networking; and quantum computing.

“Developing excellent communications and presentation skills is one of the most important things that a young scientist can do,” said David Brown, director of the Computational Research Division at Berkeley Lab. “We created this educational program to provide our postdocs with communications training, mentorship, and coaching sessions along with an opportunity to present their research in a public forum.”
