Bioengineering Ph.D. Student Receives National Recognition for Breakthrough Molecular Computational Tool

Nandhini Rajagopal’s accomplishments are massive even though her research focuses on small molecules

As part of biomedical and chemical engineering Professor Shikha Nangia’s research group, the Ph.D. student has focused her work on minute interactions between protein molecules in the biological cells that make up all living things. Rajagopal’s work is entirely computational and as part of her research she developed a new algorithm that could determine how two different protein molecules would interact.

National Science Foundation Awards $390,000 to Research Computing Initiative

September 3, 2020

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a grant of $390,000 for a new research computing cluster at Syracuse University. The cluster will be built using graphical processing units (GPUs), which offer significant processing and memory advantages over traditional hardware. The new cluster will significantly increase the computing power available to faculty and students.

Fall 2019 Research Computing Colloquies

Do you need more computing power to move your research and creativity forward? At the Fall 2019 Computing Colloquies, Daniele Profeta (Assistant Professor of Architecture) and Britton Plourde (Professor of Physics) will discuss how they leverage Syracuse University’s advanced computing resources to strengthen their work.

Architecture Assistant Teaching Professor exhibits at ACCelerate

LiDAR generated image of a ship docked in the arcticAssistant Teaching Professor Daniele Profeta of Syracuse University’s School of Architecture exhibited at ACCelerate: The ACC Smithsonian Creativity and Innovation Festival, which was held April 5-7 at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.

Profeta’s interactive exhibit on ARCTIC LiDAR was an immersive 360° Video Installation exploring the quickly expanding logistic landscape of the Arctic coast.  Using 3d LiDAR scanning, this 360° video captured the primary nodes of this far reaching infrastructure, ranging from Dry Ports to Ice Breakers and Rail Terminals, and re-assembled them in a composite, speculative landscape.   Continue Reading
