DESCRIPTION:Julia is a programming language that aims to improve technical
  computing. In this talk I will provide a short introduction to Julia\, tr
 y to address why you might want to explore Julia for your work and touch o
 n topics such as HPC\, accelerated computing and automatic differentiation
 .\n\nBio: Valentin Churavy is a PhD student at the MIT JuliaLab where he w
 orks on the Julia with an eye on HPC and scientific use-cases. As part of 
 his work he helps science teams get the most out of Julia and tries to imp
 rove the language\, compiler\, and runtime of Julia for their use-cases.\n
 \nPrior to joining MIT he worked on applying machine learning to biologica
 l use-cases and simulations in cognitive science.\n\nHybrid Zoom details w
