The Swiss Italian Radio (RSI) recently broadcast an item on the new CSCS building and the scientific projects running here in their programme “Scintille”. They interviewed Michele De Lorenzi, associate director at CSCS, and two professors from ETH Zurich, Günther Dissertori (particle physics) and Marcella Carollo (astrophysics). Listen to the broadcast »
At the 41st SPEEDUP Workshop, Laurent Villard presented “Gyrokinetic simulations of turbulence in magnetic fusion plasmas”. Laurent Villard is Adjunct Professor at EPF Lausanne. His research interests include the fast ion driven instabilities of the Alfvén wave, MHD equilibrium and stability of toroidal plasmas and small scale turbulence simulations based on gyrokinetic theory making use […]
At the 41st SPEEDUP Workshop, Joost van de Vondele gave a presentation on “Sparse matrix matrix multiplication for linear scaling DFT”. Joost is an Assistant Professor of Nanoscale Simulation at ETH Zurich and is working in the development of modeling tools for nanoscale systems and solar cells. Previously he was Oberassistent at the University of […]
Today at 11:10, RSI, the Swiss Italian Radio station will dedicate a broadcast to meteorology and the COSMO model used by MeteoSwiss and other national agencies. The participants are Marco Gaia from MeteoSwiss and Michele De Lorenzi from CSCS, and the discussion will be moderated by Nicola Colotti. Read more »
Today researchers working on the LHC experiment at CERN presented the observation of a new particle with a mass of 125 GeV. This is a very important step on the search for the standard model (SM) Higgs bosson in their data recorded up to June 2012. In this interview, Prof. Christoph Grab of ETH Zurich […]
