The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) will host its annual Research Symposium in spring 2027 to showcase how faculty, staff, students, and industry are using high performance computing resources (HPC) to advance research, education, and innovation in a variety of fields.
Benefits of Participation
• Present posters and give short talks
• Learn about new developments in HPC
• Discuss outcomes of research and educational initiatives
• Connect with others in the HPC community
• Meet potential collaborators
• Provide valuable feedback to OSC staff
Research Projects Showcased at the OSC Research Symposium
Presented research reflects the wide range of discoveries made possible through HPC. This 2026 video series highlights students, faculty, and researchers who have participated in the symposium and explores how they use OSC resources to tackle complex challenges across disciplines:
- Advanced Computing Across Research Disciplines: See how researchers are using high performance computing to advance work in astrophysics, particle physics and biomedical research.
- Data-Driven Approaches to Complex Challenges: Explore research focused on optimizing computational processes, machine learning, and predicting material degradation.
- Building the Tools Behind Discovery: Learn how researchers are benchmarking GPU computing frameworks, modeling complex fluid dynamics, and developing AI tools for virus classification.
- From Secure Data Systems to Life Sciences: Discover projects ranging from blockchain-based data processing to genetic research exploring species-specific traits.
Proposal Submission Guidelines
What topics can be submitted? 
Anything related to computational science, including (but not limited to):
