Groundbreaking research takes time. Research computing resources at Syracuse University help speed up the clock.
Nandhini Rajagopal is a biomedical and chemical engineering doctoral student in Professor Shikha Nangia’s lab in the College of Engineering and Computer Science. Last month, Rajagopal won the American Chemical Society’s Chemical Computing Group Research Excellence Award, which recognizes outstanding computational chemistry research conducted by graduate students.
For her research, Rajagopal takes advantage of the University’s Academic Virtual Hosting Environment and the Crush virtualized research cloud. Crush provides access to dedicated, customized compute nodes for high-performance and high-throughput computing. It is used in tandem with the AVHE, which houses the data and work scheduling infrastructure.
We recently spoke with Rajagopal about how these resources advance and accelerate her research. Continue Reading
