Smart women gathering to discuss smart topics – a great way to spend a summer evening!
The TXWHPC Summer Mixer was held at Data Vortex on July 11, 2019. Ten attendees shared an evening of networking and PechaKucha talks – a presentation format where the speaker presents 20 slides/images for 20 seconds each.
The speakers, shown below, used their almost seven-minute presentations to review recent accomplishments, research projects, or new technologies. The five talks covered quantum entanglement, French food, the use of computing algorithms to analyze famous novels, a history of Data Vortex, and a brief overview of performance modeling for GPGPUs.
