This $547,484 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports the development of three innovative software platforms at Vanderbilt University.
The first platform, a novel extension of the ADVISER cloud computing project, aims to enable equitable and efficient usage of AI cloud computing resources. The second platform, called MOCHA, is a new quantum computing platform that facilitates hardware-independent quantum software development. The third platform, Research.Team, is a cloud-based application to help researchers identify and facilitate new collaboration opportunities.
In addition to the software platforms, the project will create new educational materials to integrate emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing into university and K-12 curricula. By releasing all software and educational materials as open-source and engaging with organizations like the Minority Serving Cyberinfrastructure Consortium, the project aims to promote widespread and inclusive adoption of its outputs.
