Associated Centers and Research Units
California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2)
Under the direction of UCSD CSE Professor Larry Smarr, Calit2's mission is to extend the reach of the Internet throughout the physical world. Calit2 teams UCSD and UCI faculty, students, and research professionals with leading California telecommunications, computer, software, and applications companies to conduct research on the scientific and technological components needed to bring this new Internet into being. Institute applications researchers are conducting their studies in "living laboratories" to investigate how this future Internet will accelerate advances in environmental science, civil infrastructure, intelligent transportation and telematics, genomic medicine, the new media arts, and educational practices.
San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC)
Under the direction of UCSD CSE Professor Fran Berman, SDSC's mission is to develop and use technology to advance science. In selecting projects and allocating resources, SDSC focuses on five program areas: Integrative Biosciences, Data and Knowledge Systems, Environmental Sciences, High-end Computing and Communications, and Grid and Cluster Computing.
