Director's Message to UMIACS June '24

While the summer months offer a time to rest and recharge for many of us, the ongoing work in UMIACS continues unabated.

We continue to push forward together—making new discoveries, developing novel technologies, building interdisciplinary partnerships, garnering professional accolades, and welcoming new employees.

UMIACS recently hosted a trio of visitors tasked with conducting an external review of our institute. The reviewers came from academic units that somewhat mirror UMIACS—high-level, computing-focused groups at universities that require a team effort from faculty, students and staff to excel.

Hot enough for you?

If you’ve been in Maryland for much of the summer as I have, you’re acutely aware of the above-normal-temperatures we’re experiencing.

The science behind predicting extreme weather—including overbearing heat that can harm humans, animals and our environment—continues to progress, due in no small part to scientists having new tools based in computing.

Director's Message to UMIACS April '24

Whenever I meet with prospective new faculty interested in joining UMIACS, I always discuss the resources available as a member of our institute.

Those resources include assistance with research proposals and post-award management; onboarding of graduate students or postdocs; help in navigating the often-complex procurement process for large-scale equipment purchases; and much more.
