# Research posters: SC18 and the 2018 LANL summer symposium

In November 2018 the Center for Advanced Research Computing took a collection
of digital posters highlighting computational research at UNM to
[SC18](https://sc18.supercomputing.org/){target=_blank} in Dallas, the premier
supercomputing conference. They are collected here with the student posters
from that summer's Los Alamos National Laboratory symposium. See also the
[news story about the trip](../news/sc18-team.md).

## SC18 research posters

* [Biologist looks at genetic past of viruses to try to predict future outbreaks](/assets/sc18-poster-virus-genetics.jpg)
* [Research aims to help patients at risk for diabetic blindness](/assets/sc18-poster-diabetic-retinopathy.jpg)
* [Researchers collaborate to expand arts, engineering connection](/assets/sc18-poster-dance-sensors.jpg)
* [Research finds links between board networks, company success](/assets/sc18-poster-director-networks.jpg)
* [Spatial clustering of metal and metalloid mixtures in unregulated water sources on the Navajo Nation](/assets/sc18-poster-navajo-nation-water.jpg)
* [A computational model for regulation of nanoscale glucan exposure in *Candida albicans*](/assets/sc18-poster-candida-albicans.jpg)
* [Database of deceased people a national first](/assets/sc18-poster-decedent-database.jpg)
* [LANL-CARC collaboration works to prevent wildfires](/assets/sc18-poster-wildfire-collaboration.jpg)
* [Libraries, CARC join to preserve research data](/assets/sc18-poster-libraries-data-preservation.jpg)
* [Looking for ways to prevent railroad overpass damage](/assets/sc18-poster-railroad-overpass.jpg)
* [Robot swarms aid NASA Mars journey](/assets/sc18-poster-mars-robot-swarms.jpg)

Two stories from the same season were shown alongside the posters:
[Social Media Workshop pod project looks toward futuristic farming](../news/glowpod.md)
and [CARC recipient of grants for cyberinfrastructure optimization, protecting sensitive data, SMART Grid projects](../news/three-grants-2018.md).
