Ph.D. student Jaya Kawale won the 2011 Explorations in Science through Computation Student Award for her work on Discovering Teleconnections in Climate Data through Data Mining. This annual award, sponsored by The Shodor Education Foundation, Inc., recognizes students who have successfully woven together scientific insight and discovery through the use of computational modeling, simulation, and/or data analysis, with an emphasis on the extent to which these technologies enabled scientific discovery which would not otherwise have been possible. The award includes travel expenses to the 2011 Supercomputing Conference (SC11), where the accomplishment will be recognized at the awards ceremony on November 15, 2011.
Jaya is working with Prof. Vipin Kumar on an NSF Expeditions in Computingproject entitled "Understanding Climate Change: A Data Driven Approach." Her research focuses on the development of algorithms for the discovery and analysis of dipoles in observed and model-generated climate data.
