*2013 Visiting Scholars Awarded*
The NCSRR will host its third Visiting Scholars Program this summer. We
selected three exceptional candidates from a large and highly competitive
pool of applicants based on their outstanding scientific potential, strong
computational skills, and past contributions in modeling and simulation.* *The
2013 Scholars include Ananth Gopalakrishnan, Luca Modenese, and Massimo
Sartori. Read more about the scholars and their projects
