Martina Lessio, Scientia Lecturer in the School of Chemistry at UNSW Sydney, and her team are researching the best uses for minerals for purifying water, how we can use carbon dioxide and plastic waste for energy storage, and how we can preserve valuable marble artworks from water damage. How does she do so many things at once? Join this conversation with Martina to find out how high-performance computing makes all this possible.

Have you ever experienced turbulence during a flight? Aviation meteorology is what makes it possible for us to fly safely. Join us in this conversation with Christal Xie, an Aviation Meteorology Specialist from The University of Melbourne and the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes, to discover how supercomputing helps her understand potentially dangerous turbulence behaviour.
