Feature Stories
Most TACC research and development projects are collaborations with researchers associated with The University of Texas at Austin, the TeraGrid, or other partner institutions. TACC staff collaborate with computational researchers on projects where their computational expertise can substantially enhance the researcher’s work. TACC staff also collaborate with computer scientists, technologists, and others to develop new advanced computing and scientific visualization tools and techniques. Lastly, TACC partners with various organizations to develop proposals for joint hardware and software acquisitions, an area where TACC has been very successful.
If you are interested in collaborating with TACC on a proposal or on an ongoing research and/or development project, please contact TACC at info@tacc.utexas.edu.
