UD Announces New Data Science Institute and Founding Director
The University of Delaware is establishing a new institute to accelerate research in data science, and bioinformatics pioneer Cathy Wu will serve as the founding director.
Adapting apps for high-powered computing
A modern-day version of the 20th-century space race, companies and governments worldwide are scurrying to build an what’s called an exascale computer, which could do a billion billion calculations per second. UD computer scientists team with Oak Ridge National Lab to program apps for next-generation supercomputer.
Searching for the Big Picture
Essential information about medical discoveries is often buried inside the graphs, charts, photographs, and other images that illustrate research journals. Large-scale analysis of images along with the text could soon be possible, thanks to a $1.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.
Female engineering pioneers
UD is committed to the success of women in engineering. In honor of Women’s History Month, here are just a few of the women who set the course for the engineers of today and tomorrow.
