Digital Epidemiology Lab | UC Digital Futures

Digital Futures High Performance Computing Center

The Digital Futures (DF) High Performance Computing (HPC) center provides the tools, talent and training necessary to accelerate computational and data-enabled research and knowledge creation.

UC’s HPC and HPDA (High Performance Data Analytics) supercomputer, popular open-source data analysis software packages, high-speed data transfer tools and integrated high-speed storage environment are available to project teams and collaborators. These tools, and others, can be used for proof-of-concept projects, testbeds for new ideas, code benchmarking, interactive analysis and data sharing/reproducibility.

Talented research computing professionals are available to help you scale your workflows from workstation to HPC, optimize your code and take advantage of the massive processing power available in the GPUs for your modeling and simulation, ML and AI projects.

About

The Digital Epidemiology Lab focuses on both regional and global health. Regionally, the lab collaborates with local health departments to protect and improve community health by preventing disease and injury, addressing environmental hazards, promoting healthy behaviors, and preparing for emergencies. Globally, the lab tackles health issues that transcend national borders and have significant political and economic impacts. Working with partners in the United States and abroad, the Digital Epidemiology Lab addresses major challenges such as the opioid abuse epidemic, the HIV epidemic, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

PROJECT SHOWCASE

Digital Futures Flashpoint Series | Overcoming Disparities in Health Care – The Coronavirus pandemic highlighted the disparities in health outcomes faced by residents of poorer communities. Whether it is a rural or urban population, our panelists will discuss the all-too-real challenges millions of Ohioans face every day, and what is working to address those challenges. Our discussion features opening remarks from Dr. Andrew Filak with insights from our experts: Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff from the Ohio Department of Health, Cara Dingus Brook for the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, and Digital Futures’ own Diego Cuadros. Moderated by Jai Chabria.
