Ethan is a mechanical engineering Ph.D. student and current DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellow, and Jerry is his Ph.D. advisor and a past fellowship recipient. This episode is the first in our Season 8 series, focusing on collaboration.  You\u2019ll meet:   Ethan Meitz&amp;nbsp;a mechanical engineering Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University and a fourth-year Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellow (DOE CSGF). He works with  Alan McGaughey, in the mechanical engineering department and  Gerald (Jerry) Wang associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Jerry was a DOE CSGF recipient from 2014 to 2018.  &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Science in Parallel","author_url":"http:\/\/scienceinparallel.org","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/42911682\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/42911682"}
