In Vivo Deployment of Palmaz-Schatz Stent Sparse Matrix Methods Fluid Phase Equilibria Modeling the Dynamics of RNA Seminar Synopsis Visitors Research Reports On April 8 and 9, a group of researchers from industry, government laboratories, and universities met at the Supercomputing Institute. The meeting kicked-off a research project funded by the Department of Energy and Corning Glass. Dr. David A. Yuen of the Supercomputing Institute hosted the members. Dr. Yuen is one of the university affiliated participants of this multi-disciplinary project. Other members affiliated with universities were Dr. Oleg Vasilyev and Professor Gregory Belykin. Dr. Vasilyev comes from Stanford University and is working in numerical analysis. He will be using his expertise in dealing with wavelet transformations. Professor Belykin visits from the University of Colorado at Boulder and is also an expert in numerical analysis using wavelet transforms. Dr. George Fann and Dr. Guillermo Terrones come from Pacific Northwest National Lab, a government lab. Dr. Fann is an applied mathematician and high-performance computational expert, and Dr. Terrones is a fluid dynamicist. They are working together with level set equations. Dr. Kirk E. Jordan from IBM Research and Dr. Walter Buehl from Corning represented industry. Dr. Jordan is an expert in parallel visualization and will be dealing with PV3 visualizations of the project. Dr. Buehl has worked extensively on glass processing and will be helping with the experimental data. The two days consisted of presentations from the various groups in an effort to get the team acquainted with the latest developments. Strategies were then formed on how to attack a fluid flow problem of glass with large variations in physical properties by six to eight orders in magnitude. This proves to be similar to the Earth’s mantle and magma chamber which Dr. Yuen is very familiar with.
