Publication date: 4 de July, 2025Computing support and Infrastructure for Academic Scientific Research at the Mellon College of Science
The computational needs of students, faculty, visitors, collaborators and staff in an academic scientific research environment are varying and wide-ranging. In this talk I will focus on how the Mellon College of Science fulfills computing the needs for Scientific Research for the departments of Mathematical Sciences, Physics and Cosmology, Chemistry and Biology. This talk does not focus on needs for teaching or college administration which are also provided but outside the focus of this talk.

| Host Bio | Nuno Chagas is the Systems Engineer for the Mellon College of Science of Carnegie Mellon University. He is part of a team that assists faculty, students and staff with computer issues and HPC needs. Chagas' role varies from day to day. He assists with hardware and software specification, sourcing, HVAC, installation, security, backups, maintenance and decommissioning. He also assists graduate students performing computational research, suggesting ways that they can improve their code or work through a problem. Chagas has a long career in engineering. He received a bachelor's and a master's in informatics engineering at NOVA FCT. He spent a few years pursuing a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence at the University at Edinburgh, where he found he enjoyed teaching students, and he appreciated the academic environment. He left before graduation to work at a company that focused on robotics and artificial intelligence. Chagas arrived at CMU in September 2019. Since then, he has become a major part of the Departments of Mathematical Sciences, Physics and Cosmology, Biology and Chemistry and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. |
