Balancing Security and Discovery: A Conversation with UChicago Chief Information Security Officer Matt Morton
Tuesday, October 28, 2025
October is recognized as Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a timely reminder of the critical role security plays in enabling research and discovery. At the University of Chicago's Research Computing Center (RCC), high-performance computing (HPC) and data continue to drive innovation across disciplines. As research grows more data-intensive and collaborative, so does the need to protect our systems and data. Maintaining a secure and compliant research environment has become increasingly important, especially as federal agencies emphasize stronger cybersecurity standards.
UChicago Launches SHARED: A New Data Platform for Research Collaboration and Discovery
Thursday, September 4, 2025
The University of Chicago has received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop SHARED, the Secure Hub for Access, Reliability, and Exchange of Data. This new storage platform will advance research through robust capabilities for data storage, accessibility, sharing, and integration with national and global data federations. It will provide critical storage capacity for research and supporting data science curricula development and education.
Mind Bytes 2025
Monday, March 10, 2025
Mind Bytes is a celebration of scholarship and research computing. It is a unique event that brings together faculty, staff, and students from every corner of the University who share an interest in high-end computing, data, scientific visualization, and the use of computation and data to advance what is considered state of the art in their fields. This year there is both a Poster Competition and a Visualization Challenge.

AI/ML Summer Fellowship: Empowering Students to Explore AI and Biological Applications at BSD and the RCC
Tuesday, January 7, 2025
This summer the Biological Sciences Division (BSD) and the Research Computing Center (RCC) cohosted the AI and ML in Biology Fellowship. To join the fellowship, students applied and answered questions about their research and areas of expertise. The applications were then sent to research groups interested in the fellowship who selected the fellows. “I applied because I’m a computer science and biology double major, so an opportunity to work on AI and ML in a biology lab sounded amazing. I was hoping to get some hands-on experience in applying machine learning concepts to biology datasets and to gain some insight into the field that combines these two fields,” detailed Alissa Domenig, one of the summer fellows.
