Our research group welcomes Juan Manuel Sanchez Melian as a new Master’s student to carry out his MSc thesis research project in our Fusion group. His six-month internship will give him the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of working with one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, the MareNostrum 5. Furthermore, his research will focus on the timely and critical topic of nuclear fusion.
A few days ago, the Open Day of the Computer Applications in Science and Engineering Department (CASE) at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) brought together students and experts to explore the power of high performance computing (HPC) and its impact on cutting-edge research. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to interact with the CASE researchers, experience the vibrant diversity of BSC, and imagine what their future in HPC and science at BSC could be.
Our group leader, Mervi Mantsinen, and master’s student intern, Irene Agudo, actively participated in this event. Their involvement highlighted the growing role of women in science and HPC, and inspired the next generation of researchers to pursue careers in HPC and scientific discovery.
