Nominations are now open for the SIGHPC Emerging Woman Leader in Technical Computing Award.

This award, given in odd-numbered years, is open to any woman who has engaged in HPC and technical computing research, education, and/or practice for 5-15 years since receiving her highest degree. This international award creates a career milestone achievement, and also establishes a cohort of role models for students and professional who are just getting started in our field. New for 2021: Nominees who have taken time out of the workforce and who, as a result, are professionally “mid-career” but are beyond 15 years since achieving their highest degree may still be nominated. Refer to nomination instructions for more details.

“Technical computing” includes all of the various fields that are part of what we think of as HPC – areas such as visualization, analytics, operations, scientific application software (creation and porting/tuning), libraries, and so on – as well as professionals working with everything from small, workgroup-sized systems, to leading systems on the TOP500 list.

The award is presented every two years during the annual SC conference. The awardee is recognized with a $2,000 cash prize, a plaque, and travel support to SC.
