Welcome to the SLAC Scientific Computing Seminar Series!
The series will showcase scientific computing techniques from across the lab and beyond, with lectures by SLAC researchers who pull the science from the vast amounts of data produced by the Linac Coherent Light Source, image the universe in three dimensions and more. The series will also present scientists from other institutions who will share new methods for using computing to advance science.
The lectures are currently scheduled for one Tuesday a month in Kavli Auditorium. There will be refreshments offered after the talk.
