CI Days at Purdue 2010
Real-life examples from faculty members already taking advantage of technological resources offered by Purdue to advance research and research collaborations, to win grant funding, and to enhance students' classroom experience. Participants from any field welcome.
Purdue CI Days 2010 will showcase technologies to enhance research, teaching and research funding.
Just about any faculty member, research staffer, or graduate student can benefit from these technologies, which make up Purdue's "cyberinfrastructure," or CI.
Featured speakers:
· Donna Cox, internationally known scientific visualization expert at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications and an Academy Award nominee for the IMAX movie "Cosmic Voyage"
· Arden Bement, former director National Science Foundation and director of the Purdue Global Policy Research Institute
· Robert Browning, director of the C-Span Archives, a digital library of every C-SPAN program aired since 1987
