Overview

The Science Engagement Team (SET) supports the ESnet mission by ensuring that ESnet services are aligned with customer requirements. We are responsible for gathering, analyzing, and communicating science requirements to ESnet operations teams, we serve as the primary contact for ESnet’s co-design consulting and Requirements Review program, and we coordinate resources across the organization in order to fulfill science requirements. 

What our team does:

1. We maintain, for ESnet and the Department of Energy’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program (through which we are funded), a common operational understanding for the present, and predicted, data mobility needs of the DOE scientific community and global collaborators.
2. We support the development of efficient scientific workflows through consulting  and collaboration with science programs, and the translation of these workflows into ESnet operational requirements and initiatives. 
3. We serve as the “voice of the science customer” by coordinating with ESnet operational elements and by advocating for ESnet resource priorities as needed to support the data mobility needs of DOE science programs. 
4. We contribute to the improvement and transformation of the global scientific enterprise by designing, developing, implementing, and championing strategies and best practices for data-intensive science (e.g. Science DMZ, DOE’s Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program ). 
5. We are a key collaborator and enabler for strategic constituencies in the scientific community, including DOE national labs, user facilities, and programs, as well as universities and industry.
