“Science is more essential for our prosperity, our security, our health, our environment, and our quality of life than it has ever been before.”
- remarks by President Obama at the National Academy of Sciences Annual Meeting on April 27, 2009

Join the community of the country's top computational scientists and engineers.

Fellows in the Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF) program are using high performance computing to better understand fundamental properties of the world and universe around us, and to solve complex problems in areas of national importance, such as climate change and sustainable energy sources.

The tremendous benefits and opportunities these students receive have a lasting impact on their lives.

"I love to imagine experiments in all sorts of fields and test them without having to buy millions of dollars of equipment and wait years for reasonable results. Only computer simulation allows your scientific imagination to wander without having too much reality set in."

Practicum: Argonne National Laboratory
Hometown: Chappaqua, N.Y.

"I knew that if I were given the opportunity to join this community, attend the annual conferences and perform a practicum, I would be challenged and encouraged by people who fully appreciate the challenges of computational science..."
