Acerca de

The Ken Kennedy Institute works with industry to sponsor graduate students through fellowships. Since 2001, the Institute has awarded 149 fellowships totaling $1,030,000 supported by AMD, bp, Chevron, ExxonMobil, NAG, SLB, Shell, the Energy High Performance Computing Conference, and the Andrew Ladd, Ken Kennedy-HPE Cray, and Scott Morton endowments. These one-year graduate fellowships are available to graduate students pursuing research related to high performance computing, computational science and engineering, and data science. The fellowships also provide internship opportunities and interactions with industry professionals.  The Energy High Performance Computing Conference has sponsored 26 of these graduate fellowships.
