In this third edition of the BSC Doctoral Symposium we had six different sessions of talks tackling the topics of: Postdoc research at BSC; Algorithms, Physics & Data Science Algorithms, Numerical Methods and Data Science; Life Sciences; Simulations and Modelling; and Performance. The posters were exhibited and presented during four poster sessions that created lively discussion and gave the authors the opportunity to explain their research and results. The directors of BSC strongly supported the creation of the symposium and its organisation and Mateo Valero, Director of BSC, gave the opening speech.
The keynote speaker, Prof. Francisco Doblas Reyes, gave the lecture: Big Data for the Study of Climate Change and Air Quality. He is Director of the Department of Earth Sciences at BSC and ICREA research professor at the Catalan Institute of Climate (IC3). At BSC he coordinates the largest FP7 project on climate prediction. The Department hosts more than 50 engineers, physicists, mathematicians and other air quality and climate researchers who try to bring the latest developments in supercomputing and Big Data to provide the best information and services. He is author of more than 100 peer-reviewed papers.
The training courses given by researchers from Computer Science Department, reviewed the fundamental Algorithms and Techniques for Data and Computationally Intensive Problems (Prof. Vassil Alexandrov, ICREA-BSC) and introduced Scientific Visualisation of Data (Dr. Javier Espinosa) as well as provided some practice regarding these concepts.
