The sixth Rising Stars in Computational and Data Sciences Workshop will be held April 22-23, 2025, at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at UT Austin. The event is co-organized by the Oden Institute and Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia National Laboratories. Rising Stars is an intensive workshop for graduate students and postdocs who are interested in pursuing academic and research careers. A primary focus of the workshop is broadening the participation of early career researchers in computational and data sciences.
We are seeking nominations for outstanding candidates in their final year of PhD or within three years of having graduated (and not yet in a permanent faculty or staff position). We will select approximately 30 participants to come for two days of research presentations and interactive discussions about academic and research careers, with financial support for travel provided. We seek participants with excellent research records and with a demonstrated record of service to their academic and/or professional communities.
Nominations require (1) a letter of nomination and (2) the nominee's two-page resume. Nominations are due January 31, 2025 and should be submitted at
