"I had a great time interacting with the research team members, mentors, and other fellows from across the country. The sessions were really entertaining, but the simulation workshop was by far the best of them all. It gave me a sneak peek into how DESRES is able to integrate its computational methods into biochemistry research. I also enjoyed the Anton Supercomputer overview because I was fascinated by how the engineers were able to build up a machine that carries out molecular dynamics simulations at such remarkable speed."

“The Undergraduate Fellowship was a huge success and I thoroughly enjoyed getting a small taste of the fascinating chemistry and software research that DESRES conducts. It was also immensely valuable to hear from an accomplished panel of DESRES researchers, connect with the other fellows, and receive a bit of constructive mentorship from other DESRES employees. There was a great diversity of experience and expertise, which made the fellowship all the more exciting.”

“It was great attending the fellowship. The greatest part of it all was that we tried out these simulations and analyzed them which gave some kind of insight into how things are done at the company, not to mention the virtual tour of the supercomputer, Anton, and how engineers are working to develop its next generation.”
- Computer Science Major, Class of 2024
“I really enjoyed how all the sessions allowed us to see what working at DESRES would be like from all different angles. We got to hear from some of the scientists about their daily work lives and we also were able to hear about their experiences before working at DESRES and how they were able to set themselves up for their time at the company. The simulation workshop was definitely one of my favorite sessions because I felt like I was receiving training for my first project at DESRES!”
