Research Computing was established in order to better support the research community at the university. Research Computing is part of the Information Technology and Telecommunications (IT&T) organization and serves to oversee the technological needs of the research community at the university in conjunction with the Division of Research (IRC, 4th Floor). This also provides a technological resource within the Division of Research environment for effective knowledge transfer and dissemination.

Research Computing Goals:

  • To establish a Research infrastructure that maximizes and leverages the usage and deployment of computer hardware and software at the university;

  • To provide support for campus research laboratories and research environments;


  • To optimize utilization and operational enhancements of the computing requirements for improving our research infrastructure


  • To facilitate centralization of information sharing and supplying systems for supercomputing, computational modeling/analysis, e-learning, genomic and bio-informatics research;


  • To provide interactions with NCREN, high performance computing centers, research clusters and research grids state-wide and nationally;


  • To facilitate grant collaboration for project hardware/software needs and provides an ‘economy of scale’ review of all research hardware/software purchases for cost efficiencies (along with the university architect) of research acquisitions in order to provide a knowledgeable constituent of the needs of the research community.
