Provides outstanding benefits and opportunities to students pursuing doctoral degrees in fields of study that use high performance computing to solve complex science and engineering problems.
For more than 25 years, DOE CSGF recipients have used math and computers to conduct doctoral research in many fields, including:
Applied Mathematics
Astrophysics
Chemical Engineering
Chemistry
Computer Science
Environmental Science
Life Sciences
Machine Learning
Materials Science
Mechanical Engineering
Physics
A separate track is available for those pursuing an advanced degree in applied mathematics, statistics or computer science with research interests that help use emerging high performance systems more effectively. This track allows students to focus on issues in high-performance computing as a broad enabling technology and not on a particular science or engineering application.
Applicants are required to submit a Program of Study (POS). The POS must provide a solid background in (1) a scientific or engineering discipline, (2) mathematics and statistics, and (3) computer science and computer engineering. Fellows' major fields must fall into one of these categories but they also must attain high marks in the other two to demonstrate that their POS has sufficient breadth. A course that introduces the concept of high-performance computing is also required and may be taken from any department with a preference given to those in computer science.
Students and their advisors explicitly commit to completing the POS before the start of the fellowship’s third or fourth year depending on the fellow’s status upon admission to the program.
Note: Fellows can request changes to their POS following admission into the program. These requests must be submitted to Krell in advance of the change, and must be reviewed and approved by the DOE CSGF executive committee.
$45,000 stipend, full tuition and fees, $1,000 annual travel allowance; renewable for up to 4 years. Also, recipients participate in a 12 week DoE practicum and yearly conferences.
