CSU is aggressively expanding our research and educational activities centered on data – including new bachelor’s and graduate degrees in data science, partnerships in quantum computing, and numerous researchers applying high-performance computing to their research. To support the increasing need for computational capabilities on campus, the Viking Cluster is now available for a wide variety of supercomputing tasks. The cluster consists of 6 nodes with state of the art CPUs and GPUs, plus 300TB of backup storage of research data. Most common software packages are available or can be installed as required. All research faculty and their research students are eligible for an account.
For support with accessing the Viking Cluster, or to learn about computing resources at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) for research and classroom purposes, please contact Center for Applied Data Analysis and Modeling (ADAM) co-directors Dr. Shawn Ryan (Mathematics and Applied Statistics) or Dr. Thijs Heus (Physics).

Kevin Mueller to Lead New NASA-funded Research in Leaf Imaging Dr. Kevin Mueller, an assistant professor in the Department of Biological, Geological, and Environmental Sciences (BGES), has been awarded $299,844 by NASA to study the optical properties of leaves by utilizing hyperspectral imaging. Plants have unique amounts and types of leaf waxes that perform functions like water uptake and protection from pests, as well as variable leaf internal composition and thickness. These factors affect how the leaves reflect light. Read More » |

US Patent Application Allowance U.S. Patent Application No. 17/199,345, titled Secure Hierarchical Processing Using a Secure Ledger and naming Dr. Wenbing Zhao (Electrical and Computer Engineering), has received a notice of allowance from the US Patent and Trademark Office. The benefits of using wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor the status of a system have long been recognized. This invention provides a novel method for hierarchical processing and logging of potentially large amount of sensing data with the blockchain technology, which could drastically address the issue of limited throughput in blockchains. An additional benefit for the hierarchical approach is to make the data much more conducive to inspection and decision making based on the data. |
