Argonne Leadership Computing Facility’s Post

"Since I’m working closely with my professor who has been in the field for many years, I learn practical skills such as better code practices, but also the opportunity to understand his thought process during dense research with multiple stages like the one we’re currently tackling." -Vivek Dhingra '25, on working closely with his professor and mentor Andrew Forney during Seaver's summer research. Read about the model they're developing and how it'll be used to approximate student behavior right here: https://lnkd.in/gDs-JBUy

Today we’re excited to shine a spotlight on one of our summer students, Aristotle Martin. A Biomedical Engineering PhD candidate from the Randles Lab at Duke University, Aristotle helped port the Fire Dynamics Simulator, a computational fluid dynamics model, to harness the GPU capabilities of ALCF's Aurora exascale supercomputer. "Having the ability to tap into experts at Argonne has been a unique experience in my work here. Whether the question relates to low-level aspects of Fortran, or getting advice on understanding performance projections, there is always someone we can reach with expertise in that area." During his time at Argonne National Laboratory, Aristotle worked in new areas that helped his expand his computing skills and expertise. "This experience has broadened my view of the computational science field by exposing me to other large-scale science codes and the issues they face. Despite the differences between the project I worked on through the internship and my own PhD work, I have already picked up on techniques that I plan to apply to my own university research."

Computing undergraduate majors cite building work experience as a top reason for taking part in a formal research experience (REU). Undergraduate research experiences are a promising tool for recruiting and retaining students in computing disciplines.

Very pleased that our paper from last year's undergraduate summer bursary project, analysing a better way of testing for COVID, has just been published at the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. There's a neat idea called group testing. If you are short of lateral flow tests, you could imagine two or more people putting their swabs in the same pot of solution and testing them together. If the test comes back negative, you can imagine everybody doesn't have the disease. If it's positive, you know at least one person is infected (but you might need to do more tests to find out who). We studied a version of this called tropical group testing. If you use a PCR machine, you don't just get a yes or no, you get a numerical score for "how infectious" someone is (the Ct number). So the question is how much this extra information helps in tracking down who the infected people are. We adapted some existing algorithms to this setting, studied them by simulation and proved theoretical performance guarantees. When I say "we", Vivek Paligadu (who is an undergraduate student studying Maths with Statistics in the School of Mathematics here) took the lead on the project to an extremely impressive extent. But it was also a pleasure working again with my ex-PhD student Matt Aldridge (now a lecturer at Leeds) on this, because some of the algorithms date back to our paper from ten years ago, before anyone even heard of COVID! Our paper is now available early access at https://lnkd.in/gD_2Gn-F and free on the arxiv at https://lnkd.in/gHxgVXud
