- Immigrates to US at 15 dirt-poor
- Undergrad at Hudson Valley Community College & SUNY Albany
- PhD at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
- NSF postdoc at Harvard
... Nobel Prize!

A testament to the US education and research system and the US would be poorer without it!

@hpcnotes 9/10. I wonder if anyone else will report missing the one I "missed?"

[DOE Office of Science @doescience]

Supercomputers can solve problems that would otherwise be unsolvable using experiments or traditional computers. @ENERGY Office of Science is awarding 38+ million node-hours on our supercomputers to 56 projects, including those that advance AI and fusion: https://t.co/u390ov5fmV

[OLCF @OLCFGOV]

📣 @doescience has announced a groundbreaking investment of over 38 million node-hours of computing time for researchers tackling some of the most pressing scientific challenges.✨
