Paper Featured at PEARC21 Outlines Expansion of Cyberinfrastructure Portal July 21, 2021 HOLYOKE, Mass., July 21, 2021 – A cyberinfrastructure portal developed for the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Northeast Cyberteam (NECT) has found utility in several programs in the research computing and data community, according to a paper chosen by PEARC21 as “Best Short Paper for the Workforce Development, Training, Diversity, and Education Track.” The paper will be featured at the virtual PEARC21 conference that runs July 19th through July 22nd. The Connect.Cyberinfrastructure.org (Cn...

Tuesday, July 13, 2021 Share A mentoring and career development program for students who have historically been excluded from STEM fields. A series of boot camps aimed at bridging the cybersecurity skills gap and making cybersecurity education more accessible to diverse populations. Accommodations for students with disabilities that enable them to actively participate in hands-on laboratory activities.  These are among the 20 projects that will receive funding as part of the 2021 Pitt Seed Grant program. The program, now in its fourth year, provides startup funding to tr...

07/02/21 A team from Harvard University, Internet2, the University of California, San Diego and the University of Utah is developing a Research Computing and Data (RCD) Resource and Career Center to support workforce development in the field. The pilot project, called Cyberinfrastructure Centers of Excellence, has been awarded a $1.49 million, two-year grant from the National Science Foundation. The career center will provide "institutions and individuals with the products, tools, services and community to build and sustain successful RCD operations," according to a news announcement. Key go...

Researchers develop computational tool to aid understanding of ORR on platinum catalysts in fuel cells Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder are developing new computational tools and models to better understand and manage the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in fuel cells. Hendrik Heinz, an associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, is leading the effort in partnership with the University of California Los Angeles. His team recently published new findings on the subject in an open-access paper in the journal Science Advances. Heinz said a key go...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder are addressing one aspect of that roadblock by developing new computational tools and models needed to better understand and manage the conversion process. Hendrik Heinz, an associate professor...
