Programa

Sessió 1
Supercomputing and Personalized Medicine

During this session we will introduce the new challenges that have recently arisen in relation to Personalised Medicine. With the aim of developing treatments and diagnosis protocols adjusted to each of the patient and to each of the corresponding genomic context, novel developments at the level of software and hardware are still needed. These developments are focused in generating tools and systems that are able to analyse  efficiently thousands of patient genomes. For the first time, computing sciences are becoming essential in the expanding field of Biomedicine. 
Ponent: David Torrents

Sessió 2
Recerca de Ciències de la Computació i Aplicacions per a la Ciència i l'Enginyeria.

Since Galileo Galilei, the visual representation of scientific data has been a key component of science, either advancing thanks to it or directly causing advances. Nowadays, the field of scientific visualization is growing fast, thanks to the technological explosion and a renewed interest of society in design and aesthetics. In this seminar we will survey the field of data visual representation, discuss about available tools, and touch on design and narrative topics that researchers can learn on their own to improve their graphical communication skills.
Speaker Fernando Cucchietti


Sessió 3
Recerca de Ciències de la Terra

The talk will introduce the research done in the Earth Sciences Department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center on Climate Prediction, Atmospheric Composition Modelling and Earth Sciences Services. The Department develops and applies state-of-the-art Earth Systems Models to study the evolution of the climate, the atmospheric composition and their interrelations.
