10:05 | 10:20 | Welcome to TACC | Dr. Dan Stanzione, Executive Director at TACC | |
10:20 | 11:20 | Keynote: Computational Modeling of Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications |
Dr. Lela Vuković is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). Dr. Vuković's laboratory focuses on using computational methods to advance the applications of nucleic acids in biology and nanotechnology, and to design molecules with high-affinity target binding. Specific research projects in the lab involve the development of computational methods for the design of new nanosensors to detect the presence of molecules important to brain function, and the computational modeling of nanoparticles that disrupt viral pathways. Prior to joining the faculty at UTEP, Dr. Vuković was a Postdoctoral Fellow under the advisement of Dr. Klaus Schulten in the NSF Frontier Center for the Physics of Living Cells at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. |

10:00 | 10:15 | Welcome – Day 3 | Amit Ruhela | |
10:15 | 11:15 | Keynote: Extreme Computing and Extreme Events in the Environment |
Dr. Kiran Bhaganagar, Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering; Associate Fellow American Institute of Aeronautics & Astraunautics (AIAA); Director for Laboratory of Turbulence, Sensing & Intelligent Systems; Director of NASA Center for Advanced Measurements in Extreme Environments (CAMEE) at University of Texas at San Antonio. Bhaganagar had rigorous training as a Ph.D. student under the guidance Prof John Lumley, world’s leading experts on turbulence. Bhaganagar’s expertise is in the area of turbulence model development for atmospheric plumes, rough-wall turbulent boundary layer, leeway drag due to the combined interactions of wind and wave turbulence. Recently, Bhaganagar served as a principal investigator for the following: United States Coastal Guard, Integrated high-fidelity approach towards improved leeway drift prediction, NASA MIRO Center for Advanced Measurements in Extreme Environments; US Army, Novel Technology for detection and prediction of spreading of air-borne chemical agent. Bhaganagar has contributed to numerical tools, including WRF-LES to simulate 2-way feedback between the ABL and the plume, DNS of rough-wall turbulent channel flow, LES of wake effects of wind turbine, a novel technology for leeway detection due to the interaction of wind and current. |
