In this webinar, we will provide an overview of three global science drivers: the Large Hadron Collider, gravitational wave detection, and the IceCube neutrino observatory, elucidating common patterns in the architecture of their global computing infrastructure. We outline the role AWS can play in these large international projects using advancements in computing technologies as their data volumes explode over the next decade.

When: Wednesday, May 15, 2019 | 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM PT | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET

Speaker: Prof. Frank Wuerthwein, Executive Director Open Science Grid (OSG), and Professor of Physics at UC San Diego

Prof. Wuerthwein, an experimental particle physicist analyzing data from the Large Hadron Collider, is an executive director of OSG responsible for providing an integrated data and compute platform that advances Open Science through distributed High Throughput Computing. The platform has been used in the detection of gravitational waves (Nobel Prize 2017), and the discovery of the Higgs Boson (Nobel Prize 2013), as well as many other scientific achievements.
