AeroPropulsion, Mechatronics and Energy (AME) Group |
|
The AME group is represented by facult in the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering and the Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. The group is also part of the Florida Center for Advanced Aero Propulsion. The center is a multi-university, statewide Center of Excellence established by the Florida Legislature in 2008 and led by Florida State University. The Center which also includes the University of Florida, the University of Central Florida, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, leverages the resources of its partner universities and creates an unrivalled pool of aerospace talent, expertise and physical infrastructure. The result of this collaboration is the creation of hundreds of scientists and engineers as well as the design and development of new technologies and products that solve problems faced by industry and government. The Center also serves as an incubator to transition the technology to applications in a timely and efficient manner. Through its government and industry partners, the Center strives to become the ‘go-to center’ in aerospace-related areas for the state, the region and the nation. |

The Bass Laboratory investigates the structure and function of chromosomes and telomeres during meiosis, when chromosomes are recombined, shuffled, and reduced to the haploid state (during production of sperm or eggs). Genetics, molecular biology, and microscopy are used to examine plant telomeres and their role in meiotic nuclear architecture and chromosome segregation. The data generated by these instruments are storage and analyzed using a variety of resources supported by HPC. |

Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) |
|
The Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) performs research in air-sea interaction, ocean and coupled air-sea modeling, climate prediction,statistical studies, and predictions of social/economic consequences due to ocean-atmospheric variations. Students in COAPS come from a wide variety of departments including meteorology, mathematics, computer science, and physical oceanography. COAPS is funded by several federal agencies, producing original published papers that advance our understanding of the ocean and the atmosphere.

The FSU College of Medicine has a dynamic research agenda in biomedical science, geriatrics, rural health, and patient safety, among other areas. High Performance Computing at FSU works with the College of Medicine to help support the computational and data processing needs among their faculty. This work includes the creation and support of data analysis pipelines to accelerate discoveries. |
|
Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (CBE) |
|
The Department emphasizes a balance of teaching and research in forefront areas of modern chemical and biomedical engineering, and it has made an impact on the field in many aspects of education and research. Thirteen full-time and one half time instructors, one research associate and academic advisor, and several adjunct and affiliated professors comprise the faculty. The student body consists of about 150 undergraduates and 30 graduate students. |
|
Department of Scientific Computing |
|
The Department of Scientific Computing (SC) is the focal point of computational science activities at FSU. Computational science involves the invention, implementation, testing, and application of algorithms and software used to solve large-scale scientific and engineering problems. We provide a venue for innovative research and education in scientific computing. Our faculty come from a wide variety of traditional mathematical and scientific disciplines who are primarily interested in developing knowledge and tools for computational science and applying those tools for the solution of problems in a variety of applications.

Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Science |
|
Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Science (EOAS) at Florida State University provides high quality, innovative education that prepares, challenges, and inspires students to shape the future of earth sciences; to be an international leader through excellence in scholarly research; to provide information to the public and decision makers; and to increase public understanding of our science. EOAS includes such programs such as, Biogeochemistry, Geological Sciences, Meteorology, and Oceanography. |

The Houle Lab uses Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly, as an experimental organism. The major experimental project in the lab is to use the wing of Drosophila as a model to understand the relationship between genotype and phenotype, and how this affects evolution. The Hughes Lab also contributed to this resource. The Hughes Lab studies a variety of topics including mate choice and sexual selection, life history evolution, evolution and genetics of aging, genetics of reproductive behavior, maintenance of genetic variation. |
|
Institute for Molecular Biophysics |
|
The Institute for Molecular Biophysics (IMB) at Florida State University focuses on studying and understanding the basic theory of molecular interactions. The IMB's mission is to combine experimental Structural Biology with High Performance Computing to develop applications that will allow scientists to predict the properties of important Biomolecules. Through computational approaches scientist at the IMB are able to study molecular and motions that are inaccessible to direct experimentation. |

Dr. Gunzburger is a Francis Eppes Professor of Scientific Computing and the Chair of the Department of Scientific Computing. Dr. Gunzburger invested in to FSU's shared HPC to gain priority access to a section of the core processors and storage attached to HPC. |
|
Dr. Paul Eugenio is an Associate Professor in the Physics Department at Florida State University. He is also a member of the Hadronic Nuclear Physics division where he focuses on studying new phenomena in Nuclear Physics such as hunting for new, exotic, and unusual particles. Currently, Dr. Eugenio is working on developing a computer simulation framework and data analysis tools for an effort to build a state-of-the-art 40 million dollar detector (Hall D) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News, VA. |

Rafael Bruschweiler (Magnet Lab) |
|
Dr. Rafael Bruschweiler's research at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University focuses on three main areas: protein behavior, NMR methods and metabolomics. His lab develops fast spectroscopy NMR methods to study the structure and dynamics of proteins and small molecules. He also does research on metabolomics, combining biology, chemistry and computational science to study the chemical components of a biological system to explain and understand the behavior of the system as a whole. |

Drs. Ken Taylor and Hanspeter Winkler made a financial investment in FSU's shared HPC in order to have priority access to a portion of the core processors and storage attached to HPC. Dr. Taylor's laboratory in the Institute of Molecular Biophysics is using 3-D electron microscopy (3DEM) to determine the structures of proteins and macromolecular assemblages in muscle and the cytoskeleton. Although they use most 3-D imaging methods, their primary imaging method is electron tomography. Their approaches are somewhat from the norm in that they use exclusively marker-free image alignment. They are also at the forefront in the application of correspondence analysis to volume data from electron tomography. |
