March 8, 2024 HPC Creates Inclusivity Women's History Month Share this page: Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Email By Cristin Merritt Embracing the momentum from 2023, we’re launching a new tradition: spotlighting remarkable women in HPC throughout Women’s History Month. These leaders, researchers, mentors, and educators exemplify our diverse community. Each story is a beacon of inspiration, collectively showcasing our community’s strength. This month, meet a diverse range of talented women, from burgeoning students to seasoned veterans shaping the future. Their journeys are sure to ignite your own path in HPC. Join us on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram every day in March for new profiles. Don’t miss a single one—check out the full list below and dive into their inspiring narratives. We’ll provide weekly updates of new profile publications to this piece and across social media to ensure you’re up to date.

This project was led by SC24 Communications Team Members Cristin Merritt and Dominik Wojtak and came to life with assistance from the SC24 Communications Chair, Melyssa Fratkin. Nominations for profiles came from Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC), SC Conference Series volunteers, and prior SC Women’s History Month cohorts.
