Exascale women on stage

These are the participants to the Exascale women on stage workshop. Below you can read their experiences of being a woman working in physics at the exascale. During the workshop, the participants together devised a questionnaire so that others can also share their experiences. If you would like to do so, please click the "Take part" tab. 

Hannah Kleine, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. I am a master student working in solid-state theory, especially the GW approach of many-body perturbation theory and the treatment of spin-orbit coupling in DFT.  hannahCirclePink-01
In the past, the rapid development of computing power has helped us to gain a deeper understanding of physics. I am very excited to be able to witness the latest developments in exascale computing from up close.
Suzana Miladic, Institute of Physics Belgrade, Serbia. I am a Ph.D. student working on quantum Monte-Carlo studies of polaron transport.
 Women in science need to be more visible!
Maryam Azizi, Université Catholique de Louvain. I am working in the field of computational physics, using many-body theory to describe excitations, where exascale computation will play a crucial role. 
Exascale computing enables scientists, researchers, and engineers to tackle complex problems and process massive amounts of data. It has the potential to revolutionize fields, including weather forecasting and climate modeling.
Mara Voiculescu, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. I am a student assistant and master student, working on symmetry aspects of the exciting code.
I am very grateful for the chance to take part in this workshop, which focused on the important aspect of bridging the gender gap in STEM fields.
Yuqing He, Université catholique de Louvain. My focus is on the application of machine learning in materials science, especially for topological materials.   Don't be be defined by others, follow your interests!
Lu Qiao, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. My research focuses on exciton dynamics, based on many-body perturbation theory and time-dependent DFT.
Exascale is shaping the future of technology and creating a more inclusive computing landscape.  
Tara Maria Boland, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet. I am a researcher in the realm of high-throughput software development, driving advancements in materials discovery. My primary focus revolves around the discovery of 2D materials and interfaces.
The next frontier of scientific computing is exascale, let women lead the way!
Giuliana Materzanini, Université Catholique de Louvain. I use first-principles and machine learning techniques to calculate and understand the properties of new materials for energy at the atomistic scale.
There's still a lot to do for women in science, and exascale women should work together to achieve it!
Dhanya Pushpadas, University of Bergen, Norway. My work is in the field of Training, research support and outreach.
Women can play key roles in the exascale- and post-exascale era, we need to grab the opportunity and empower each other!
Roberta Poloni, University Grenoble Alpes, France. My research focuses in providing design principle for novel capture and sensing mechanisms using electronic structure methods.
Don't measure your success by others' standards!

Claudia Draxl, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. I am leading the solid-state theory group at HU Berlin, which also develops the all-electron code exciting.


Exascale computing will allow us to investigate and understand complex systems that are currently out of reach. It is important that women are among the pioneers in this field.
