🔥 The countdown to casting the M has begun! Before molten metal becomes the iconic block “M,” there’s preparation, precision, and a whole lot of heat! 🥽🔥 We’ve got the safety gear on, the team is ready, and it’s almost time to pour. 👀

U-M and Los Alamos National Laboratory will develop a high-performance computational facility that will strengthen the university’s research capabilities and impact, and create new jobs in southeast Michigan. myumi.ch/ErRRE
Quote from U-M President Santa J. Ono: “By bolstering our high-performance computing infrastructure, as well as our research collaborations in other areas, faculty, staff and students from across U-M will have access to the tools and resources necessary to catalyze advancements in critical areas ranging from the biosciences and artificial intelligence to climate and sustainability.” Image of a machine inside a computational facility.

Today we've launched our book "Atlas of Fourier Transforms". It has been a two year passion project led by Miti Shah, a student in our lab. It is uniquely comprehensive and suitable as a coffee table book or advanced research reference. The full pitch is on Kickstarter. kickstarter.com/projects/hla…
