Events

The Ecosystem for Research Networking (ERN) All Hands Meeting (AHM) gives the scientific and cyberinfrastructure research community an opportunity to come together and discuss ERN accomplishments, successes, and challenges related to projects, collaborations and partnerships, and ERN Working Groups’ efforts. There will be open discussions and conversations on collaboration opportunities, future working groups, funding opportunities, focus areas and policies as they pertain to areas of community interest including the Big Data movement, cybersecurity and protecting data, research instruments, applications for ERN, education and training. 

Materials Discovery is one of the research areas where gaining a deeper understanding of the workflows, research computing and data requirements, collaborations, and challenges will enable the ERN to have the broadest impact across multiple research disciplines, pedagogical approaches, senior level college and university administrators, and other organizations within the region and beyond. Researchers in materials discovery are realizing their traditional data-intensive HPC workflows are reaching the limits of original progress. For this reason, they are looking to new paradigms that include convergence of HPC and Machine Learning (ML) methodologies, algorithm development, and novel ways to access the data distributed across multiple institutions used in training systems as promising approaches to overcome the major computational performance limitations they are faced with. Exploratory conversations with Penn State, Rutgers, SUNY Buffalo, MIT, and others suggest that Materials Discovery offers an attractive testbed for advanced cyberinfrastructure of the sort the ERN can offer through future funding opportunities such as the Mid-Scale RI-1 program. As with Cryo-EM/Cryo-ET, this session will explore possibilities for extending collaborations to include other institutions as well as the community of Research Computing and Networking organizations.
