The Research Institute is a center for multidisciplinary research at UTC. It not only serves as an incubator for innovative concepts and laboratories but also acts as UTC’s core facility for High-Performance Computing and Storage. UTC has two concentrations in its Computational Science PhD program: Computer Science and Computational Math. These concentrations are in addition to the initial emphasis in Computational Science: Computational Engineering. All of our PhD and some of our MS and undergraduate students are now housed in the Multidisciplinary Research Building. The facility includes faculty offices, student cubicles, a 1,500 square-foot computer room, a conference/meeting room that accommodates 25 people, and an 80-seat auditorium. It also hosts two secure, expandable suites of rooms dedicated to proprietary and/or classified research, a research library, and other work space. The interior layout is designed to facilitate extensive interdisciplinary interactions among faculty and students, with student cubicles in large open spaces adjacent to faculty offices. Researchers also have access to the high-performance compute resources at all times.

The Research Institute physical data center is equipped with infrastructure to support high-performance computing and physical/virtualized server needs. We offer a range of modern IT equipment, including high-capacity servers, storage solutions, and high-speed networking hardware that enables us to accommodate diverse project requirements.
