IDRE's LECTURE SERIES BEGINS:UCLA's new Institute for Digital Research and Education (IDRE) will launch a lecture series beginning Oct. 24. The bi-weekly series was designed to have a broad appeal to people across campus, and over the course of the next year speakers will focus on the cyber infrastructure of the future, high-end computation, simulation, visualization and the manipulation of very large datasets. The first presenter will be John Bell, Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, on "The role of Simulation in Understanding Combustion." IDRE's mission is to promote and support projects that are based in high-end computation, simulation, visualization, and the manipulation of very large datasets. Projects within the Institute will be multidisciplinary and partnership-based. The lectures will all take place on Mondays, from 4 to 6 p.m. in Boelter Hall, Room 8500.
