MRI: Acquisition of a Computer Cluster for Multidisciplinary Physics Research

这项奖励将支持奥克兰大学物理系的六名教职员工购买一个计算机集群，以支持他们在从材料科学到心脏电特性、从黑洞形成到肿瘤生长的非线性动力学以及从自旋电子学到纳米技术等领域的研究。将所有这些项目联系在一起的共同主线是，它们都需要计算。这一计算机集群将对实现奥克兰大学的研究和教育目标产生影响。主要的贡献将是在研究生和本科生层面的学生研究。

This award will support the acquisition of a computer cluster which will be used by six faculty members in the Department of Physics at Oakland University to support their research in fields ranging from materials science to the electrical properties of the heart, from the formation of black holes to the nonlinear dynamics of tumor growth, and from spintronics to nanotechnology. The common thread relating all these projects is that they are computationally demanding. This computer cluster will have an impact in achieving the research and education goals of Oakland University. The main contribution will be in student research, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
