Learning Science through Cooking
Dario Marrocchelli, Research Scientist, Nuclear Science and Engineering
Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 01/05
Limited to 20 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
THIS ACTIVITY IS FULL. There is already a lengthy waitlist as well. No new enrollment requests please.
Cooking is one of the most fascinating (and rewarding!) applications of science and engineering. Indeed, few people realize that even the easiest recipe requires a working knowledge of important scientific principles spanning the fields of Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science and many more. The goal of this course is to show this connection between cooking and science. This course is designed to be a fun, hands-on experience in which students learn basic scientific principles by performing simple experiments with food. The first three lectures will cover ice-cream making, chocolate tasting, naked eggs and other fun activities. The instructor will draw connections between the concepts presented and his everyday scientific research in Materials Science. A tour of the Taza Chocolate factory is an optional encouraged activity to supplement the session on chocolate.

Massively Parallel Multiphysics Simulation Simplified by MOOSE
Derek Gaston, Idaho National Laboratory Computational Science Liaison
Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
Prereq: Some C++ Experience (Do a tutorial or two)
The MOOSE (Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment) framework simplifies the work necessary for a scientist or engineer to simulate complex multiphysics phenomena. An object-oriented approach, overlaying a robust nonlinear solution algorithm provides an approachable interface for solving sytems of partial differential equations. In addition, MOOSE is inherently parallel allowing for utilization of all those cores in a workstation... or all the cores in a supercomputer to speed up your calculation, all without requiring the user to know anything about parallel programming.
MOOSE is in use by hundreds of scientists and engineers all over the world where it's been eployed for nuclear reactor simulation, materials science, geothermal applications, fluid dynamics, chemistry and much more. In particular, MOOSE is already utilized by multiple research groups at MIT. MOOSE has recently received an R&D100 Award and Derek Gaston (the original creator of MOOSE) was also awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) for developing the code.
This tutorial is being taught by Derek Gaston and will be a comprehensive, hands-on experience: teaching you everything that you need to create your very own multiphysics simulation tool.
NOTE: If attending please go through the "Getting Started" instructions on mooseframework.org BEFORE the class begins!

ROOT tutorial
Areg Danagoulian
Enrollment: Limited: First come, first served (no advance sign-up)
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
Prereq: basic knowledge of coding and data analysis
ROOT is a C++ based data analysis toolkit which was developed by the high energy physics community at CERN for analyzing terabytes of nuclear data. It consists of libraries and a built-in CINT C++ interpreter, which allows for prototyping and exploratory data analysis. This creates an environment which greatly simplifies the transition from prototyping to scripting and eventually to a stand-alone, highly efficient code. ROOT is a very powerful data analysis framework which is currently being used in high energy and nuclear physics, astrophysics and nuclear engineering.
In this 2 day tutorial we will start with an intro to C++, and will go over some basic exercises on how to load, analyze, and save data in the ROOT/CINT framework.
Requirements: bring your own laptop.
Note: while we will try to provide access to a server where the participants can play with ROOT, the participants are encouraged to have ROOT installed on their laptops before the tutorial.
