The Research Computing Series is a great opportunity to learn about the resources available to faculty, staff and students. The Fall 2023 Research Computing Series featured two sessions.
The first session shone a spotlight on postdoctoral research at Syracuse University. Physics postdoctoral research associate Raj Kumar Manna discussed how he leverages University computing resources in his research on self-organization in living matter and soft-matter systems. Currently, Manna’s work involves identifying biophysical mechanisms and quantifying forces that contribute to cell shape changes in a developing organ (Kupffer’s vesicle) of the zebrafish embryo.
The second session featured David Aja, a solutions engineer from Posit, a leading data science company providing support for R and other open-source and cloud-based products. Aja will share how researchers with varying levels of R experience can take advantage of Slurm and HTCondor clusters available to faculty and students engaged in academic research.
