October General
Meeting
The Life of Stars
October 5,
2023 @ 7 p.m. ET
Remote
attendance via Zoom video
conference.
How are stars born, and how do they die? How can we study these faraway
objects, and why do we need golden mirrors and supercomputers to do so?
Are we all truly made of stardust? This talk will explore the life cycle
of stars and how scientists use both telescopes and computer
simulations to uncover their mysteries. Focus will be placed on a
specific example, the spectacular stellar explosions known as Type Ia
supernovae, to demonstrate how the scientific method guides our
understanding of the universe.
Speaker: Catherine Feldman, Ph.D. candidate at the Institute for
Advanced Computational Science at Stony Brook University, NY. She works
with computer simulations (in Fortran!) to model bright stellar
explosions known as a Type Ia supernovae. Catherine is learning how to
get her code to run faster on different CPUs, including Intel, AMD, and
a special ARM-based chip. In her spare time, Catherine is an avid
knitter and baker, and enjoys lifting weights.

Operation Clean Slate
In the last several years, the use of
malicious software (malware) by online criminals has emerged as a
global cybersecurity threat. Of the available intrusion devices, the
“bot,” or Web robot, is particularly pervasive, allowing an attacker to
take control remotely of
a compromised computer or computers. Invisible to victims, these
networks, called “botnets,” can include hundreds of thousands of
machines around the world, controlled by a cyber criminal, or “bot
herder.” . Read
