The Georgia Scientific Computing Symposium (GSCS) is a forum for professors, postdocs, graduate students and other researchers in Georgia to meet in an informal setting, to exchange ideas, and to highlight local scientific computing research. The symposium has been held every year since 2009 and is open to the entire research community. This year, the symposium will be held on Saturday, February 29, 2020, at Emory University. The format of the day-long symposium is a set of invited presentations, poster sessions and a poster blitz, and plenty of time to network with other attendees.

Some pictures from the previous GSCS at Emory in 2016.

• Program


• Invited Speakers:
• Vince Calhoun, Center for Translational Research in Neuroimaging and Data Science, Georgia State University.
• Marta D'Elia Sandia National Laboratories.
• Yingjie Liu, School of Mathematics, Georgia Institute of Technology
• Lin Mu, Department of Mathematics, University of Georgia.
• Lars Ruthotto, Department of Mathematics, Emory University.
• Xiuwei Zhang, School of Computational Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology.


• Poster Session:
  Poster sessions will be held during lunch and during the afternoon break. Anyone can present a poster, but we especially encourage graduate students and postdocs to use this opportunity to advertise their work. Please provide a poster title when you register. Posters should be set up at 9:30 am, and we will also have a Poster Blitz at 11:40 am. In the Poster Blitz, each poster presenter will have 1 minute to present 1 slide to describe his/her poster. (We will contact you to get your slide beforehand.) Easels will be provided for displaying the posters. We also have poster-boards and push-pins if your poster does not have a hard back. The poster-boards are 30x40 inches and can be used in any orientation with the easels.


• Reception:
  There will be a reception with food and beverages following the last talk, until 8:00 pm. The reception is free to all registered participants.


• Location and Venue:
  • The symposium will be held in the Mathematics and Science Center, Emory University. Registration, posters, and coffee breaks will be in the 2nd floor atrium.
  • Maps and directions can be found here, and visitor parking information here. The Oxford Road Deck is most convenient, as it is right next to the Mathematics and Science Center. It should have plenty of spaces on Saturday, but if it is full, then the next closest is the Peavine Visitor Parking Lot.


• Registration:
  Although you can register the day of the event, we ask prospective participants to register by Friday, February 14. The event is free, but in order to be able to provide adequate support, please register here.
