The Research Computing Student Worker Program is dedicated to supporting RC staff and advancing computational research at UVA. Through this program, student workers will undertake short-term projects, relieving RC staff of certain responsibilities and allowing them to devote more time to scaling support for complex, research-domain endeavors. This initiative not only benefits RC staff but also provides students with valuable exposure to high-performance computing (HPC) and scientific computing early in their academic journey.
Student Manager: Gladys K. Andino, PhD, Strategic Services and Education Manager

Student: Hari Periyasamy
Project Description: Hari contributed to the Workshop Data project. He worked on creating a microservice that takes in a specified time period and returns a list of the number of workshops and the number of registrants for each workshop. The goal was to gain a better understanding of the workshops that should continue to be offered, as well as which departments we should target for advertising our workshops to maximize utilization.
