SUMMARY:4th GPU Hackathon at Princeton (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:4th GPU Hackathon at Princeton (Virtual event)June 1\, 2022 (Prep day)June 6-8\, 2022 (Main event)Contact: Ma. Florevel (Floe) Fusin-Wischusen (floe@princeton.edu)https://gpuhackathons.org/event/princeton-gpu-hackathon-2022 \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDETAILS: \n\n\n\nGraphics Processing Units (GPUs) offer high performance andmassive parallelization\, but learning how to program GPUs forscientific applications can be daunting. \n\n\n\nTo help reduce the barrier to entry\, Princeton will host its4th annual GPU hackathon\, organized and sponsored by NVIDIA\,Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF)\, andPrinceton Institute for Computational Science & Engineering(PICSciE). \n\n\n\nInterested research groups should apply to send a small teamof 3-6 developers who will be paired with experiencedmentors from industry and national laboratories in order tohelp migrate their code to GPUs and/or optimize codes alreadyrunning on GPUs. \n\n\n\nThe event will include a “prep day” of code profiling andpreliminaries followed by an intensive 3-day scrum. \n\n\n\n* Prior experience with programming GPUs is not required\, butparticipants will be encouraged to get an overview ofdifferent GPU programming paradigms prior to the hackathonvia training materials that will be provided in advance. \n\n\n\n* All fields are welcome\, from astrophysics tomachine learning to genomics. \n\n\n\n* Although Princeton and Princeton-area teams will be givenpriority\, a Princeton affiliation is not required\, so sharethis announcement to interested colleagues from neighboringinstitutions (partner GPU hackathons hosted in other parts ofthe US and the world are listed at gpuhackathons.org/events). \n\n\n\n* Prior hackathon participants are also welcome to apply butsuch teams should explicitly address in their applicationsthe additional value they hope to gain from attending thehackathon again. \n\n\n\n* Space is limited\, and applications will be reviewed forthe goodness of fit with the goals and resources of the hackathon(including the availability of appropriate mentors for agiven team). \n\n\n\n* Access to computing resources will be provided for theduration of the hackathon\, and there will be a virtualsocial event on one of the hackathon days.  \n\n\n\n* A guide for what to expect as an attendee can be found here: \n\n\n\nhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1OpFlrThkxHV40wDUObBczLeChXTizKcrltFJJgZuZdM/edit \n\n\n\nApply Now! \n\n\n\nAPPLICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY WEDNESDAY\, APRIL 13\, 2022for full consideration. \n\n\n\nOnce final teams are selected (by late April)\, the hackathonlanding page will be filled in with information includingadditional pre-event logistics. \n\n\n\nJunior Mentors Needed: \n\n\n\nIf you already have some GPU programming experience butdo not plan to submit an application\, and if you would likethe opportunity to spend a week working with and learning froma group of GPU experts\, email floe@princeton.edu.

SUMMARY:Quantum Webinar Series - February 20\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Ecosystem for Research Networking and the Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub(NEBDHub) have partnered to host a series of webinars focusing on Quantum Computing. This Dynamic series will convene leading researchers\, industry innovators\, and educators to explore the evolving frontiers of quantum science and technology. These virtual events are designed for learners\, educators\, researchers\, and professionals. Each interactive session will span topics from foundational principles to cutting edge real-world application\, bridging disciplines and sparking discovery. \n\n\n\n\n\nBuilding Quantum from the Ground Up: How Regional Universities Can Lead the Quantum Workforce \n\n\n\nQuantum science and workforce training are often perceived as the domain of large research universities and national laboratories. In reality\, smaller and regional institutions\, which educate a significant share of U.S. students\, including many first-generation\, low-income\, and underrepresented learners\, play a critical role in expanding access\, training talent at scale\, and connecting quantum research to regional workforce needs. For these institutions\, sustained federal investment is essential to enable quantum programs to take root and scale.  \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I will share how Middle Tennessee State University is building a comprehensive quantum initiative at a regional university by integrating research\, education\, industry engagement\, and workforce development\, made possible in large part through critical funding from federal agencies such as the NSF and DOE. I will discuss the structural challenges and resource constraints faced by smaller institutions and the strategies used to overcome them\, including a growing portfolio in quantum materials\, quantum computing\, and AI-enabled quantum science; the launch of interdisciplinary and interinstitutional quantum curricula and student training pathways; and a strategic partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory that connects students and faculty to national-scale research and industry-relevant problems. \n\n\n\nTogether\, these efforts position MTSU as a regional hub for quantum education and workforce development\, while contributing meaningfully to the Tennessee and national quantum ecosystem. Ultimately\, building quantum capacity at regional universities is not about catching up\, it is about ensuring that the future of U.S. quantum science is built broadly\, wherever talent lives and opportunity can be created. \n\n\n\n\nDr. Hanna Terletska – Full Professor of Physics at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and the Founding Director of the Quantum Research\, Interdisciplinary Science\, and Education (QRISE) Center. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nPresentation\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nDr. Hanna Terletska’s research background is in computational physics\, with a focus on disordered and strongly correlated quantum materials\, supported by NSF- and DOE-funded projects. She leads the Middle Tennessee Quantum Consortium\, a regional partnership among MTSU\, Tennessee State University\, Fisk University\, Meharry Medical College\, and Austin Peay State University\, working with national laboratory partners to expand quantum research\, education\, and workforce training across Tennessee. She also develops interdisciplinary quantum curricula and leads Train-the-Trainer programs to strengthen quantum capacity at emerging research institutions.
