Los Alamos National Laboratory joined us at Coastal Carolina University for the Fall 2026 Career and Internship Fair.

A big thank you to Brian Atkinson and Migeljan (Migel) Imeri, for spending time with our students and talking with them about internships, technical careers, high-performance computing, storage systems, and national laboratory work.

Brian and Migel are both CCU computer science graduates who now work full time at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and they continue to support CCU students through the LANL-CCU Collaboration and the externally funded HPC Storage Exploration Project.

We are proud of this partnership and the opportunities it creates for our students to connect classroom learning, research, and future careers. Thank you President Winebreak for visiting with us!

👏 Congratulations to CCU students Gavin Smithson and CJ George, who recently presented findings from their Los Alamos National Laboratory–CCU Collaboration research during the Gupta College of Science’s Board of Visitors meeting.

Gavin and CJ shared their work on the Anomaly Detection in Manufactured Parts project, a research effort focused on supporting quality assurance for precision manufactured components. As part of this project, they have contributed to AnnoMate, a tool that helps inspectors load images of manufactured parts, annotate potential issues, and use built-in machine learning models to support evaluation.

Their work reflects the kind of hands-on, applied research experience that helps students grow as computing professionals while contributing to projects with real scientific and engineering significance.

As Professor Dakota Fulp, one of the mentors of the LANL-CCU Collaboration, said:

“Gavin and CJ represent the kind of student researchers we hope to develop—curious, capable, and willing to take on challenging problems with real-world importance. Their work shows what can happen when students are given the opportunity to contribute to meaningful research early in their academic careers.”

We are proud of Gavin and CJ for representing the Department of Computing Sciences and the LANL-CCU Collaboration so well!

🎉 Congratulations to Marcos Carvajal, a Coastal Carolina University undergraduate researcher and student in the LANL-CCU Collaboration, for earning 2nd Place for Best Oral Presentation at CCU’s 2026 Undergraduate Research Symposium!

Marcos was selected from a field of 72 oral presentations for his presentation, “From Static to Scripted: Enabling Flexible IOR Workflows in Parallel File System Benchmarking.”

His research focuses on improving how researchers test and understand the performance of large-scale storage systems used in high-performance computing. Unlike the storage in a personal laptop, these systems must support many users and applications accessing data at the same time. Marcos’s work helps make benchmarking tools more flexible, allowing researchers to create custom testing scenarios that better reflect how large computing systems are used in real-world environments.

"This award reflects not only the quality of Marcos’s technical work, but also his ability to communicate complex computing concepts clearly to a broad audience. I have VERY proud of his accomplishment!" said Dr. Jones, computer science professor and PI of the LANL-CCU Collaboration.

Please join us in congratulating Marcos on this well-deserved achievement! 👏
