Argonne's Bardhan receives prestigious Howes Scholar Award in Computational
Science
ARGONNE, Ill (July 16, 2007) — Jaydeep Bardhan of the U.S. Department of Energy's
Argonne National Laboratory has been named a Frederick A. Howes Scholar in
Computational Science for 2007.
The award was established to honor the late Frederick Anthony Howes, who managed
the applied Mathematical Science Program in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
during the 1990s and oversaw the DOE Computational
Science Graduate Fellowship (CSGF) program. Only CSGF fellows are eligible for this prestigious award,
and only one or two are named each year.
Bardhan was a CSGF fellow from 2002 to 2006 and spent a summer at Argonne
in 2003 under that program. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering
and computer science from MIT in 2006. He is currently a Wilkinson Fellow at
Argonne.
Bardhan's research focuses on biomolecular modeling, an emerging area that
demands expertise in engineering, numerical methods, biology, and high-performance
computing. Among his accomplishments are the development of a novel technique
for analyzing the interactions between protein molecules and the formulation
of new approaches for determining optimal molecular targets for drug design.
Bardhan was one of two former CSGF fellows presented with the Howes Scholar
award at the 2007 CSGF Annual Fellows' Conference in Washington, D.C., June
19-21.
