Keep Safety in Mind and Save Your Behind Presenters: Schohn L. Shannon, Assistant Dean of Engineering Keith M. Duval, Environmental Manager, Environmental Health and Safety Topics will cover the laboratory safety initiatives implemented by the University, the training that is offered, and other resources available from Environmental, Health and Safety, as well as some of the more common safety issues that are encountered within the Swanson School. In light of the tragic accident at UCLA and the subsequent first-ever filing of criminal charges against an academic faculty member, the potential implications for faculty and principal investigators will be discussed.

SaM I Am: How the Center for Simulation and Modeling
can Increase the Quality and Impact of your Computationally-Enabled Research
The mission of the Center is to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations, especially between experimentalists and modelers, on tackling grand challenge problems impacting everyday life. In addition to providing access to state-of-the-art computing hardware, consultants can lend their expertise towards redesigning your computation software or workflow to provide more efficient research throughput. In this talk, faculty will learn about the diverse services offered by SaM as well as examples of recent collaborations that have lead to proposal awards, have accelerated research, and have enhanced the training opportunities for students.
