Juan Touriño Domínguez, a researcher at CITIC of the UDC and coordinator of the Computer Architecture Group, joins the international selection committee for the ACM-IEEE Computer Society George Michael Memorial HPC Fellowships. This program honors doctoral students for outstanding research in high-performance computing (HPC).
Touriño's appointment acknowledges his significant contributions to HPC and will involve evaluating and selecting doctoral candidates worldwide. This role also offers opportunities to discover emerging research lines, stay abreast of HPC trends, and connect with leading researchers and international institutions.
“"This designation is an opportunity to enhance CITIC-UDC's visibility within the international HPC scientific community, solidify its position in the field, and foster relationships that can lead to future scientific collaborations and knowledge exchange initiatives."
The George Michael Memorial HPC Fellowships are jointly sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the IEEE Computer Society, and SC, a premier international conference in high-performance computing. The program recognizes doctoral students globally whose research excels in HPC and related areas such as networking, data storage, and big data analytics.
The committee is responsible for reviewing applications and selecting recipients based on research potential, academic progress, and the relevance of their work. The fellowships include financial support and assistance to attend the international SC conference, a key gathering for the HPC scientific community.
Touriño's involvement on this committee strengthens CITIC-UDC's presence in the international HPC scientific community, promoting new connections with prominent researchers and institutions for future collaborations and knowledge exchange.
The ACM, founded in 1947, is a leading international scientific society in computing, dedicated to advancing research, education, and knowledge sharing among professionals and researchers worldwide.
