DESCRIPTION:\n\nScience Gateways – Enabling Seamless Large-Scale Modeling a
 nd Data Processing on Supercomputers for Domain Sciences with the Neurosci
 ence Gateway as a Case Study\n\nBy Dr. Amit Majumdar\n\nSan Diego Supercom
 puter Center\, University of California San Diego\n\nWith High-Level Panel
  of Leaders in Science\, Technology\, On-the-Ground Action\, and Policy\n
 \nRegister & watch the webinar\n\nView poster\n\nThis talk motivates the i
 mpact the science gateways are having on science and engineering research 
 fields as they seamlessly enable large scale modeling\, data processing an
 d\, more recently\, AI/ML work on supercomputing resources. The talk will 
 explain why and how science gateways are successful in eliminating and low
 ering administrative and technological barriers to using supercomputers by
  domain scientists for their computational work. It will discuss how scien
 ce gateways are helping with education and training. The Neuroscience Gate
 way\, which has been in operation since 2013\, will be used as a case stud
 y to describe how it is enabling computational\, cognitive and experimenta
 l neuroscientists with their research and relate to the US BRAIN Initiativ
 e which started in 2013\, the European Human Brain Project which also star
 ted in 2013\, and various such initiatives in brain research in various co
 untries over the last decade.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nAmit Majumdar is the
  Division Director of the Data Enabled Scientific Computing division at th
 e San Diego Supercomputer Center and Associate Professor in the Department
  of Radiation Medicine and Applied Sciences at the University of Californi
 a San Diego. One of his research interests has been to bring cyberinfrastr
 ucture to the biomedical research community to enable computational and da
 ta focused biomedical research. As a part of this he has collaborated with
  biomedical researchers such as neuroscientists and radiation oncologists 
 and developed and supported science gateways. Two such science gateway pro
 jects are supporting the neuroscience community – the Neuroscience Gateway
  (NSG) project and the NeuroElectroMagnetic data Archive and tools Resourc
 e (NEMAR) project. His other research interests are in high performance co
 mputing (HPC)\, computational science\, and cyberinfrastructure. He is PI/
 Co-PI on multiple research projects related to HPC and AI\, neuroscience c
 yberinfrastructure\, neuromorphic computing and education/outreach and whi
 ch are funded by NSF\, NIH\, DOD and industry. He is the PI of the Voyager
  machine an AI-focused hardware-based supercomputer funded by NSF. He is t
 he SDSC PI of the Intelligent Cyberinfrastructure with Computational Learn
 ing in the Environment (ICICLE) AI Institute funded by NSF. He is PI on mu
 ltiple NIH grants where computing is involved in neuroscience research. He
  participates actively in training and outreach programs including mentori
 ng students of diverse backgrounds. He is member of IEEE\, SIAM\, APS\, So
 ciety for Neuroscience\, and Organization for Computational Neuroscience.
 \n\n\nAbout the series\n\nThe Precision Convergence series is launched to 
 catalyze unique synergy between\, on the one hand\, novel partnerships acr
 oss sciences\, sectors and jurisdictions around targeted domains of real-w
 orld solutions\, and on the other hand\, a next generation convergence of 
 AI with advanced research computing and other data and digital architectur
 es such as PSC’s Bridges-2\, and supporting data sharing frameworks such a
 s HuBMAP\, informing in a real time as possible the design\, deployment an
 d monitoring of solutions for adaptive real-world behaviour and context.\n
 \nThe Precision Convergence Webinar Series is co-hosted by The McGill Cent
 re for the Convergence of Health and Economics (MCCHE) at McGill Universit
 y and The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center\, a joint computational researc
 h centre between Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsbur
 gh.\n\n \n
