ORE, TCE to Host Responsible Conduct of Research Workshop
The Office of Research and Engagement, in partnership with the Tickle College of Engineering (TCE), will host a Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) workshop on Tuesday, May 14 in the Toyota Auditorium of the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy.
The university is in the process of revising policies and procedures to make RCR awareness training mandatory for all funded investigators and their research team, with the expectation that they will meet their training requirement by the end of the next academic year. This workshop will fulfill that mandatory training requirement. Continue reading
ORE to Host Associate Lab Director of ORNL
The Office of Research and Engagement is hosting a visit by Dr. Jeffrey Nichols, associate laboratory director for Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Computing and Computational Sciences.
The new Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge provides unprecedented opportunity to perform modeling and simulation and artificial intelligence at a scale that is an order of magnitude greater than prior supercomputer systems.
Dr. Nichols will discuss the technologies used in Summit, and how supercomputers have changed the way science is conducted in the national lab complex. He will give examples of how integrating supercomputers, artificial intelligence, experiments, and new theories help to solve the nation’s largest science problems.
Nichols’ presentation is open to faculty, staff, undergraduate, and graduate students. Those interested in attending his presentation can register here.
When: Thursday, April 18, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Where: 169 Student Union
SPARKS: ARO Challenge
“How can new scientific research and technology breakthroughs address non-kinetic threats to global sociopolitical stabilities?”
Dr. Lisa Troyer, social science program manager at the Army Research Office, will visit campus on April 22 to present this question to UT researchers.
To explore this question and potential funding for related research projects, the Office of Research and Engagement will host a special edition of the SPARKS (Seeking Partnerships for Research and Knowledge) event. Continue reading
