This initiative includes computational research from quantum scale to commercial manufacturing scale, and permeates all disciplines. The power of high-performance computing combined with the enormous value of available data provides both an opportunity and challenge to produce new and trustworthy insight. Multiple disciplines must come together to assure that both questions and answers are correct.
Computation and Data
Featured Computation and Data Research
The Power of Algorithms
Sonja Petrović, associate professor of applied mathematics at Illinois Tech, has joined a team at Argonne National Laboratory to help optimize the national energy grid, continuing her ongoing work in Markov chain Monte Carlo methods and probabilistic algorithms for symbolic computation.
A Practical Solution
A team of student researchers guided by Kyle Hale, assistant professor of computer science at Illinois Institute of Technology, earned the Gilles Muller Best Artifact Award at the European Conference on Computer Systems (EuroSys ’22) for their research about a new path to hardware virtualization
Will Bitcoin Go Up or Down?
Associate Professor of Finance Sang Baum Kang at Illinois Institute of Technology’s Stuart School of Business is co-author of a paper published in The Journal of Alternative Investments that provides new empirical evidence about bitcoin returns to guide investment professionals, economists, and academic researchers.
Cutting Off the MAP
Funding from the National Science Foundation will allow Rujia Wang, assistant professor of computer science at Illinois Institute of Technology, to conduct research that will hinder attacks on computer architecture and improve computing security and performance.
Visualizing an Optimal Portfolio
Yong Zheng, assistant professor of information technology and management at Illinois Institute of Technology, has earned a grant from Morningstar, Inc. to develop a visualization tool that will help the Chicago-based financial technology outfit’s clients make informed decisions about their investment portfolios.
GPT-4 Passes the Bar
A paper co-authored by Chicago-Kent College of Law professor Daniel Katz demonstrates that GPT-4 can not only pass the multiple choice portion of the exam, but it can pass all parts of the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), including the essay portion and the performance test.
