Welcome to Hawkeye Cyberinfrastrcuture-enhanced Computational Science and Engineering (HawkCICSE). HawkCICSE is a research and education initiative, initiated and coordinated by Dr. Jun Ni, Associate Professor at the Department of Radiology, Carver College of Medicine, University of Iowa. The objective of this initiative is to enhance today's multidisciplinary scientific and engineering computations by using cyberinfrastructure-enabled information and computing resources, to accelerate collaborative research cross departmental and organizational boundaries, and to foster a new generation of computational scientists for the US nation's competitiveness and for recovery and reinvestment actions. The initiative is inspirited and supported by NSF Great Lakes Consortium for Petascale Computation with charter members of CIC schools and other major research institutes. It is an open program and any researchers who are interested in cyberinfrastructure-enabled research and education are welcome to join us.

The initiative or program mission and operations are guided by "Cyberinfrastructure Vision for 21st Century Discovery," released at NSF Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI), the NSF roadmap for future computational science and engineering, as well as other US governmental directions in scientific computing, such as NIH CTSA Initiative, DOE Office of Science, etc.

HawkCISE encourages cross domain collaboration in common research proposal submission, and operations, as well as shared knowledge and intellectual properties.

HawkCICSE has a close collaborative relationship and partnership with Virtual School of Computational Science & Engineering within the Great Lakes Consortium for Petascale Computation (GLC-PC) under the NSF founded Blue Waters Project. The computational resources are facilitated by MIHPC Lab at UI Department of Radiology, NCSA petascale computing system (Blue Waters) , and TeraGrid supercomputers sponsored by NSF. The education program is shared with the programs in GLC-PC's Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering.
