Big, small and everything in between: simulating our world using scientific computing
Jeroen Tromp, Princeton University
Posted: March 31, 2009
Talk given: February 15, 2009
During a symposium at the recent annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Princeton seismologist Jeroen Tromp describes his team's efforts to simulate global seismic wave propagation, a frontier that can be explored only through large-scale computation. He will describe problems that the sustained petascale computing power of Blue Waters will help seismologists address.

NCSA fellow studies embryonic stem cells
Sheng Zhong, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Posted: March 3, 2009
Talk given: April 23, 2008
Embryonic stem cells have great potential to treat diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and diabetes. Using NCSA's computing resources, Illinois professor Sheng Zhong researches the transcriptional control that is thought to be key to these stem cells maintaining their undifferentiated state.

Improving analysis of blood flow and clotting
Arif Masud, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Posted: February 17, 2009
Talk given: April 30, 2008
Illinois researcher Arif Masud collaborated with NCSA on an effort to extend the capability of a simulation code in order to analyze the process of clot formation and blood flow. Better modeling of these phenomena could help prevent some of the 50,000 to 100,000 deaths caused by clots each year in the United States.

Combining high tech with the ancient world
Wayne Pitard, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Posted: February 3, 2009
Talk given: April 16, 2008
Illinois religion professor Wayne Pitard describes the Inscriptifact project, which allows users to access high-resolution images of ancient inscriptions from the Near Eastern and Mediterranean worlds. As an NCSA Faculty Fellow, Pitard collaborated with staff from the Illinois Institute for Computing in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Science (I-CHASS).
