MRI: Acquisition of a Computer Cluster for Multidisciplinary Physics Research

该奖项将支持获得一个计算机集群，该集群将由奥克兰大学物理系的六名教员使用，以支持他们在从材料科学到心脏电学特性，从黑洞形成到肿瘤生长的非线性动力学，从自旋电子学到纳米技术等领域的研究。所有这些项目的共同点是它们对计算的要求都很高。这个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。主要贡献将是在研究生和本科生阶段的学生研究。

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.
