The Chemistry Department at Oakland University will acquire a high performance parallel computer with this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program. This acquisition will greatly enhance research activities involving the mechanisms of radiation damage to DNA, elucidation of the structure and aggregation of such important proteins as amyloid fibers, investigations of open-shell interactions in radical species, metal-metal interactions and cold matter phenomenon such as cooling paramagnetic molecules and cold molecules for quantum computing. The high performance research grade computer will be shared by theoretical and experimental scientists in the Chemistry Department to perform simulations, modeling of properties and structures of molecules, predict spectra and understand mechanisms of chemical and physical changes. It will be used in teaching and research by undergraduates and graduate students providing training in modern computational techniques.

奥克兰大学化学系将从主要研究仪器（MRI）项目中获得该奖项的高性能并行计算机。此次收购将极大地加强研究活动，包括DNA辐射损伤机制、阐明淀粉样纤维等重要蛋白质的结构和聚集、自由基物种开壳相互作用的研究、金属-金属相互作用以及冷物质现象（例如用于量子计算的冷却顺磁分子和冷分子）。化学系的理论和实验科学家将共享高性能研究级计算机，以对分子的性质和结构进行模拟、建模，预测光谱并了解化学和物理变化的机制。 它将用于本科生和研究生的教学和研究，提供现代计算技术的培训。
