`
Everyone is welcome to attend the Exhibition on April 23rd, at the Newcomb Hall Ballroom, 10:00am - 2:00pm.
Our Exhibition includes a judged poster competition with travel awards presented to the winning finalists. If you have used Research Computing resources to support your research, we invite you to submit a poster! Posters should reflect how you have used these resources to support your research.
Three finalists will be recognized with a travel award that can be used for professional travel such as conferences, meetings of professional associations, or other travel related to your research.
Data Analytics Center / Digital Humanities Center Fellowship
The Scholars’ Lab, the UVA Library Digital Humanities Center (DHC), and the Data Analytics Center (DAC) are delighted to announce a new fellowship opportunity.
The 2025 Data Analytics Center-Digital Humanities Center Fellowship is open for proposals from UVA faculty and graduate students. This is an experimental iteration encouraging the use of high-performance computing resources in the humanities, as well as identifying digital humanities research and teaching that could benefit from support from DHC and DAC. Possible projects might utilize AI, gaming platforms, imaging tools, geospatial technologies, use of new tools, and more.
The awarded team will consist of one faculty and one graduate student collaborating on humanities research in the University of Virginia.
Digital Technology Core
The Digital Technology Core (DTC) offers support for researchers who use or would like to use wearables, smartwatches, smartphones, or IoT devices.
Services We offer comprehensive support for your research projects including
device selection experimental design on-device software solutions always-on cloud infrastructures Areas of Expertise Our staff have a variety of experience and expertise:

Mission
Research Computing empowers UVA researchers to achieve more with cutting-edge computational resources. Our support team strives to create innovative solutions for researchers who need help solving complex optimization, parallelization, workflow, and data analysis issues. We build and maintain the University’s best computing platforms while educating the next generation of researchers on the power of advanced computing.
Research Computing Student Workers
The Research Computing Student Worker Program is dedicated to supporting RC staff and advancing computational research at UVA. Through this program, student workers will undertake short-term projects, relieving RC staff of certain responsibilities and allowing them to devote more time to scaling support for complex, research-domain endeavors. This initiative not only benefits RC staff but also provides students with valuable exposure to high-performance computing (HPC) and scientific computing early in their academic journey. Student Manager: Gladys K. Andino, PhD, Strategic Services and Education Manager For any questions, please email rc-studentjobs@virginia.edu. Check out our Student Workers!

What is Research Computing?
UVA Research Computing (RC) is a new program that aims to support computational biomedical research by providing advanced cyberinfrastructure and expertise in data analysis at scale. Our mission is to foster a culture of computational thinking and promote interdisciplinary collaboration in various data-driven research domains. We offer services related to high performance computing, cloud architecture, scientific programming and big data solutions. We also aim to promote computationally intensive research at UVA through collaborative efforts such as UVA’s own CADRE (Computation And Data Resource Exchange) and XSEDE (Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment).
One of our driving philosophies is that researchers already have medical and scientific expertise, and should not have to become computing experts on top of that.
