WHPC Affiliate @ SDSC

Mission

For over 35 years, the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) has stewarded its national reputation as an innovator and leader in high-performance, data-intensive computing and cyberinfrastructure. Many women-identified professionals have been trailblazers in their academic and research spaces and have guided other women-identified professionals in their chosen careers. As a WHPC Affiliate at SDSC, we foster a supportive culture. This official mechanism is designed to support further women-identified professionals, students, and faculty engaged in using or working on HPC resources, data solutions, science gateways, and other academic computing resources. We aim to extend our commitment to inclusivity by actively supporting members from minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institutions.

Goals

  1. Share career experience from women-identified professionals and allies at UC San Diego, SDSC, and other collaborative institutions in southern California with women-identified early-career professionals, students, faculty, and allies via networking events and activities
  2. Provide professional development program opportunities via training programs and activities hosted by SDSC projects
  3. Support for students, faculty, and early/new career professionals to attend conferences, workshops, and other professional development opportunities
  4. Build on our experience as a WHPC Affiliate at SDSC and leverage this valuable knowledge and insight to transition into a WHPC Chapter.
