The open call for applications
Jan 8, 2024 to 31 March, 2024, 01pm

MS Ralitsa Georgieva (a former HPC lab team member) is in the focus

The European Master Program in HPC funded by the EuroHPC JU via Horizon 2020, namely  EUMaster4HPC, promotes equal opportunities between men and women in its implementation. Ralitsa applied Monte Carlo method for simulating the proton transport in defective graphene while she was working in the HPC lab team. Currently she is looking forward to new challenges in her career being open to learning new things.
