Our Masked Guest Speakers Series

Every week, we have a masked guest speaker opening our HiCMA weekly meeting by giving a remote talk on broad topics related to numerical linear algebra, high performance computing, programming models and performance optimizations. Our motto is fun and science!

About

Our Masked Guest Speakers Series

Every Sundays (usually), 2:30pm-3:30pm AST

Contact Person: Hatem Ltaief

We have introduced our masked guest speaker series to virtually stay connected with our peers, while breaking the home-office routine.

Every week, we have a masked guest speaker opening our HiCMA weekly meeting by giving a remote informal talk on broad topics related to numerical linear algebra, high performance computing, programming models and performance optimizations.

Our motto is fun and science!
