HPC Lab
Biomedical Informatics - The Ohio State University
Welcome
This is the High Performance Computing Lab in Department of Biomedical Informatics at OSU. Here, we conduct research on:
- combinatorial algorithms on peta-scale architectures to solve scientific computing problems,
- runtime middleware systems for emerging multi-core architectures, and
- new methods for large scale genomic and biomedical applications.
Positions Available
We are looking for motivated new graduate students in ECE or CSE programs who have interest in algorithms and parallel/high performance computing. Applicants should hold a Master's degree in Computer Engineering or in a related field. Well-qualified students with a Bachelor's degree are also encouraged to apply. Excellent academic record and letters of recommendation attesting to research ability and motivation are required. Successful applicants will be offered yearly stipend and full tuition coverage. Interested applicants can contact Prof. Umit Catalyurek at catalyurek.1 at osu.edu.
