LSU Professors received $1 Million for Digital Media and Super Computer Research

Two LSU professors have received $1 million in federal funds for their "Center for Digital Innovation" project, which promotes research in digital media and supercomputer architecture. The recipients are Stephen David Beck, who is coordinator of LSU's Arts, Visualization, Advanced Technologies and Research program, and Thomas Sterling, who leads the Systems Science and Engineering Focus Area in the LSU Center for Computation and Technology. "With the additional funding our proposal has received through federal appropriations, we're able to advance the research initiatives already taking place on campus and catalyze efforts within the digital media group and the supercomputer architecture group to expand work in both areas and create new opportunities," Beck says
