Discover the human side of high-performance computing (HPC). In this episode of Scaling Intelligence, host Antonia Maar talks with Jay Lofstead, Principal Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories, about mentorship, inclusion, and community building β€” with a side of gelato. 🍦

Jay shares his unconventional journey into HPC and AI research, the story behind the now-global HPC Gelato Group, and his insights on fostering inclusive networks through Women in HPC and beyond. Together, they explore what authentic mentorship means, how to empower new talent in technical fields, and why curiosity β€” like ice cream β€” is best shared.
