Small college plasma physics research gets big boost from OSC computing power
Marietta College faculty member, student use HPC to simulate laser experiments

At Marietta College, classes are small and professors often know students by name. Behind the quiet campus setting, physics professor Joseph Smith was running simulations to understand the extreme forces of the universe.

OSC research earns top honors at annual PEARC conference
Projects in AI security and field-ready machine learning earn national recognition

At the Practice and Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC) conference, researchers gather each summer to share innovations in high performance computing (HPC), data, and advanced applications.

Ohio State biology researcher uses machine learning models, OSC resources to identify bat species
High performance computing helps scientists understand biodiversity, conservation needs

For Sydney Decker, evolution isn’t just a topic from a biology textbook—it’s the foundation of her scientific curiosity. A postdoctoral researcher in the College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University, Decker has been driven by one overarching question since the beginning of her undergraduate career nearly 10 years ago. 

AIRE program boosts college students’ artificial intelligence skills
With National Science Foundation funding, Ohio research institutions provide students with real-world experience leveraging AI technologies

Ohio college students learned how to use artificial intelligence technologies to solve various research and engineering problems during an immersive internship program this summer. 

Denison and OSC set up faculty, students for research computing success
University draws on OSC resources for classroom and research projects

When Lori Kumler began work as an instructional technologist at Denison University in 2023, the higher education institution asked her to evaluate the need for onsite high performance computing (HPC) resources to accommodate the growing number of new faculty with research computing needs.

Behind the swipe: How Kent State University researchers leverage OSC to rewrite the rules of credit card fraud detection
Graduate researchers use machine learning to help financial institutions outsmart fraud

It usually starts with a ping. 

A text from your bank. A flagged charge. A canceled dinner reservation because your card was inexplicably declined. 

From fantasy to future: How a physics course and OSC sparked a new career path
Ohio State student finds her calling in data science through NBA fantasy roster project

When Rachel Price enrolled in Physics 5680: Big Data Analytics in Physics, she expected a challenging elective. What she didn’t expect was a new career goal. 

OSC hosts 13th meeting of the MVAPICH Users Group
Discussion focuses on high performance computing library developed by Ohio State’s “DK” Panda

Researchers, developers, system administrators, engineers, and students who share an interest in the MVAPICH open-source library for high performance computing (HPC) are gathering at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) Monday, Aug.

Smaller colleges look to Open OnDemand to meet unique research computing needs
Liberal arts institutions share knowledge and resources to support HPC

Small colleges across America may be best known for their liberal arts curricula, but a growing number rely on high performance computing (HPC) resources to support the burgeoning research endeavors of their faculty and students. 

Ohio State researchers explore how physical activity impacts memory
OSC’s computing power supports brain health research

A study from The Ohio State University is challenging how researchers measure the link between physical activity and memory—revealing that the tools used to track activity may matter just as much as the activity itself.
