Six Sigma Green Belt for Process Improvement Wed, Mar 19, 2025 @ 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Executive Education
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: IISE Faculty, IISE Faculty
Talk Title: Six Sigma Green Belt for Process Improvement
Abstract: USC Viterbi School of Engineering's Six Sigma Green Belt for Process Improvement, offered in partnership with the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers, allows professionals to learn how to integrate principles of business, statistics, and engineering to achieve tangible results. Master the use of Six Sigma to quantify the critical quality issues in your company. Once the issues have been quantified, statistics can be applied to provide probabilities of success and failure. Six Sigma methods increase productivity and enhance quality. As a USC Six Sigma Green Belt, you will be equipped to support and champion a Six Sigma implementation in your organization. To earn the USC Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate, you will be required to pass the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineer's green belt exam (administered on the final day of the course).

Supporting Research Infrastructure Communities Through LUMI AI and AI Factories, Nordic and European Perspective
Wed, Mar 19, 2025 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Information Sciences Institute
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Tomasz Malkiewicz, CSC - IT Center for Science in Finland
Talk Title: Supporting Research Infrastructure Communities Through LUMI AI and AI Factories, Nordic and European Perspective
Series: Scientific Computing at Large
Abstract: AI applications like large language models require significant computing resources. LUMI, Europe’s third most powerful supercomputer, is already one of the world’s most powerful AI platforms for science, playing important role in supporting European RI community. The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (JU) has selected the hosting sites of the next EuroHPC supercomputers and AI Factories. One of the chosen hosting sites is Finland, led by CSC – IT Center for Science, together with a LUMI AI Factory consortium of five other countries: the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Norway and Poland. An AI Factory is an ecosystem that enables AI researchers and developers to have one-stop access to the high-performance computing (HPC), data sets and skills they need. The aim is to make it as easy as possible for both scientific researchers and industrial innovators to adopt AI methods on a large scale. In this talk, I will present the architecture of the LUMI infrastructure and its status, together with plans and ambitions for the near future. Then, an overview of how LUMI AI supports RI communities based on the scientific showcases and achievements will be presented. These include, for example, contributions to the Destination Earth initiative, work on large language models and breakthroughs from extreme-scale computing capabilities in many fields of science.
Biography: Malkiewicz is employed at CSC - IT Center for Science in Finland, has worked for CSC in managerial and specialist positions since 2011, and is a member of the Management Group since 2016. In 2025 he has been appointed as the Interim Director of NeIC - Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboraiton for the year 2025. Malkiewicz has worked with NeIC as executive manager and been a part of the executive team since January 2017. Throughout the years, he has acted as project owner for several projects, Puhuri, CodeRefinery and NordIQuEst being the most recent ones. Malkiewicz holds a PhD in nuclear physics from University of Jyväskylä, Finland. Before joining CSC, he had worked as a CNRS postdoctoral researcher at the LPSC Grenoble, France.
