SUMMARY:Massachusetts Green Team
DESCRIPTION:Student Cluster Competition\n\nMassachusetts Green Team\n\nKev
 ille, Li, Chen, Shen, Knox...\n\nBenjamin Li is a Junior at Boston Univers
 ity studying ECE. He is the President of the HPC club and hosts workshops 
 presenting HPC-related technologies, like MPI and Slurm. He participated i
 n last year’s competition.\nPo-Hao Chen is a Sophomore at Boston Universit
 y studying CS. He has experience in computational science, and leverages c
 lusters as a researcher working on deep-learning techniques for medical im
 aging. He participated in last year’s competition. \nRichard Kumahia, a fi
 rst-time competitor, is a Junior at UMass Lowell studying Computer Enginee
 ring. This will be the first time since 2018 that UMass will have a repres
 entative.\n\nDavid Shen, a first-time competitor, is a Junior at Boston Co
 llege studying Computer Science.  David has competeted in MIT Battlecode A
 I, where he used scientific computing to analyse the actions of his robot.
  He will be the first person to represent Boston College at SC.\n\nCarlton
  Knox, a first-time competitor, is a Sophomore studying Computer Engineeri
 ng at Boston University. He is a member of the HPC club.\n\nMichael Klein,
  a first time competitor, is a Freshman at Boston University studying comp
 uter science. He is a member of the HPC club.\n\nThe Massachusetts Green T
 eam is composed of students representing three diverse Boston universities
 .\nRichard has a deep knowledge of circuits and electromagnetics. Benjamin
  has knowledge of classical and modern physics, as well as device physics 
 and semiconductor materials science. Both Benjamin and Richard believe tha
 t this can help them understand the background behind many of the scientif
 ic applications. Po Hao has a self-taught life sciences background. \nTwo 
 team members, Benjamin and Po-Hao, have participated previously in the SC2
 0 Student Cluster Competition. They want to apply the skills they’ve gaine
 d from that experience to perform better this year. While the other member
 s are new, they are excited and motivated to learn about cluster computing
 , and will bring fresh ideas that the other members might not have previou
 sly considered.\nPo Hao is interested in designing efficient algorithms an
 d plans to pursue a Ph.D in theoretical computer science. Benjamin will so
 on be pursuing a Ph.D in HPC, and has worked with large clusters in the pa
 st. He hopes to gain applicable skills for his career, as well as network 
 with industry veterans. Richard hopes to gain more experience with computa
 tional science in order to better understand the capabilities of computers
 . Throughout his undergraduate career, David has worked with operating sys
 tems and file systems. He hopes to benefit from optimizing a distributed f
 ile system for this competition. Carlton will be doing research related to
  computer processor cooling solutions this summer. By participating, he ho
 pes to learn more about how HPC can be applied to his research. Michael is
  interested in HPC as an academic career path because he enjoys optimizing
  algorithms for hardware. He wants to learn more about the field and conne
 ct with industry professionals.\nKurt Keville, the team’s advisor, is a re
 searcher at MIT and has previously mentored many competition teams. He has
  provided us with resources, connections, and well as insight into cluster
  design.\n\nTag: Career Development, Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI), Edu
