EECS Research Team Named Finalist for Best Poster Award at International Supercomputing Conference SC25

A research team from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at the University of Kansas was selected as a finalist for the Best Research Poster Award at SC25, the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis. The event was held last week in St. Louis, Missouri.

The research poster, titled “A Quantum Solver for Multidimensional Partial Differential Equations: Practical Case Studies,” presents a groundbreaking quantum algorithm capable of efficiently solving complex, multidimensional PDEs. The work was led by a team of researchers including Manu Chaudhary, Kareem El-Araby, Alvir Nobel, Ishraq Islam, Manish Singh, Sunday Ogundele, Kieran Egan, Sneha Thomas, Vincent Vordtriede, Devon Bontrager, Serom Kim, and Esam El-Araby.

This novel research addresses one of the most computationally challenging areas in scientific computing. The team demonstrated their solver on a range of practical equations, including the Poisson, Heat, Black-Scholes, and Navier-Stokes equations, which are critical for modeling phenomena in fields like physics, finance, and fluid dynamics. The SC conference series is the premier international gathering for high performance computing, drawing thousands of leading researchers, scientists, and engineers from around the globe. 

The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at the University of Kansas is a leader in pioneering research that bridges hardware and software to drive innovation in computing, information processing, and intelligent systems.
