Informal instructional talks I’ve given on different tools
Written by Anna Cobb
This was a talk I gave at a student-led workshop hosted by GROW+ (Graduate Organization of Womxn), an organization specific to the department of engineering and public policy (EPP) at Carnegie Mellon. The workshop was focused on exposing other graduate students in the department to methods commonly used in EPP research, like agent-based modeling (my topic), GIS and spatial data analysis, and conducting interviews for qualitative analysis.
This is a talk I gave on the basics of supercomputing and using the Bridges 2 supercomputer at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. Using Bridges 2 to run simulations has been instrumental to my first research project and by enabling unique features like OnDemand and creating handy resources like the Bridges 2 User Guide, it doesn’t take that long to get started!
