Minisymposium Presentation
Open Discussion on Ethical and Societal Considerations for Scientific Computing
Presenter
Jay Lofstead is a Principal Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories. His research interests focus around large scale data management and trusting scientific computing. In particular, he works on storage, IO, metadata, workflows, reproducibility, software engineering, machine learning, and operating system-level support for any of these topics. Broadly across these topics, he is also deeply interested in ethics related to these topics and computing in general and how to drive inclusivity across the computation-related science domains. Dr. Lofstead received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2010.
Description
This session will be an open discussion on developments and future directions in ethical and societal considerations for scientific computing, through the lens of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Participants are encouraged to ask questions, challenge perspectives, and contribute their experiences to foster a lively, interdisciplinary conversation. The session will take place in two phases: We will start the discussion with several prepared questions and challenges focused on the intersection of scientific computing and the SDGs, and then open the session to questions and challenges from attendees on ethical and societal considerations for scientific computing.
