David Hyde, assistant professor of computer science, has been awarded a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER Award to develop new research projects in cloud and quantum computing and social networking.
The award honors early career faculty who have the potential to serve as role models in research and education and lead advances in their fields. Hyde and his team of graduate students will receive $547,484.
One of the projects the funds will support involves adding new artificial intelligence and graphics processing unit (GPU) capabilities to Hyde’s ADVISER cloud computing project, previously supported by Seeding and Scaling Success Grants at Vanderbilt University. ADVISER is a groundbreaking software platform designed to democratize cloud computing for researchers, students and practitioners across computational sciences and engineering.
Another project involves using deep learning to more efficiently run software on quantum computers, and the final one will develop a new web application that allows researchers to search for and foster new scientific collaborations.
“Together, these projects will produce software systems and platforms that accelerate computational science research and spark more scientific discoveries by facilitating new collaborations,” Hyde said.
Last year, Hyde attended the esteemed ACM PASC24 Conference in Zurich, Switzerland, and presented a paper about technology that integrates machine learning with traditional fluid simulation methods to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of computational fluid dynamics models. Nurshat Mangnike, a second-year Ph.D. student majoring in computer science, was the paper’s first author.
