The ISC High Performance Jack Dongarra Early Career Award and Lecture Series is an annual event that honors the remarkable contributions of Professor Jack Dongarra to the field of high performance computing and the HPC community. This series became a part of the ISC conference series starting in 2023.

Jack Dongarra Early Carreer Award

The award is intended for an up-and-coming researcher who has been a catalyst for scientific progress in their field. The researcher should have between 4-10 years of experience after completing their PhD.

ISC recognizes the difficulties that families and individuals encounter in their professional journeys. We are open to the possibility of extending the eligibility period by as much as four years for individuals who have become parents, served as primary caregivers, or faced substantial personal challenges following their graduation. Nominees are requested to furnish the graduation date of the nominator and the rationale for seeking an extension beyond the typical 4-10 year post-PhD timeframe in their nomination.

The award focuses on outstanding individuals who have made exceptional contributions to high-performance computing, including numerical algorithms and software libraries, computational sciences, mathematics, and machine learning.
