Advanced Research Computing at Hopkins (ARCH) announced the 2024 Mark O. Robbins Prize recipients in high-performance computing.

Benjamin Fernando was one of the Future faculty award recipients. Fernando holds a PhD in Enviromental Science and is advised by Kevin Lewis. 

Dr. Fernando works on simulating the propagation of seismic waves (from earthquakes), but on other planets. Studying the seismology of other worlds can help us understand how they evolved and what processes are active within them today. Being able to run simulations on high-performance computing facilities is an integral part of this, and helps us to understand the data we record.
