High performance computing, modeling and visualization continue to impact research providing dynamic processes to view and interact with data to define and analyze problems. The Boise State University CyberInfrastructure (CI) Engineer is the technical ambassador to discern the research projects' needs and leverage centralized university cyberinfrastructure - high-performance computers, high-speed networks and visualization equipment. The CI Engineer enhances research productivity by consulting with faculty on optimal methods, software development, and processes at the beginning of proposals and throughout the research projects. The CI Engineer works with network engineers on the separation of the CI tools into a Science DMZ and programs the Software Defined Networking equipment to speed research data transfers between internal and external data nodes. These contributions by the CI Engineer enable utilization of cyberinfrastructure resources to access, analyze, and visualize the data to achieve advances in scientific discovery.The CI Engineer works to equip a data-science capable workforce, and integrates teaching and research through learning and training. The CI Engineer works directly with graduate and undergraduate students to train and mentor them to gain skills in data management, computational literacy, and parallel computing. To broaden participation in computational sciences, the CI Engineer teams with on- and off-campus research laboratories and key personnel that have a deliberate mission and strong track record of recruiting and involving students underrepresented in science and engineering The CI Engineer broadens research capacity regionally by actively connecting with groups such as the Rocky Mountain Advanced Computer Consortium, Westnet, and XSEDE gatherings.

高性能计算，建模和可视化继续影响研究，提供动态过程来查看和与数据交互，以定义和分析问题。博伊西州立大学网络基础设施（CI）工程师是技术大使，负责识别研究项目的需求，并利用集中的大学网络基础设施——高性能计算机、高速网络和可视化设备。CI工程师通过在提案开始和整个研究项目中咨询教师的最佳方法、软件开发和流程来提高研究效率。CI工程师与网络工程师一起工作，将CI工具分离到科学DMZ中，并对软件定义的网络设备进行编程，以加快内部和外部数据节点之间的研究数据传输。CI工程师的这些贡献使我们能够利用网络基础设施资源来访问、分析和可视化数据，从而实现科学发现的进步。CI工程师致力于为具有数据科学能力的员工队伍提供装备，并通过学习和培训将教学和研究结合起来。CI工程师直接与研究生和本科生合作，培训和指导他们获得数据管理、计算素养和并行计算方面的技能。为了扩大计算科学的参与，CI工程师团队与校内和校外的研究实验室以及具有深思熟虑的使命和招募和参与科学和工程领域代表性不足的学生的良好记录的关键人员组成。CI工程师通过积极与Rocky Mountain Advanced Computer Consortium、Westnet和XSEDE等团体建立联系，扩大了区域研究能力。
