Projects

Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
The mission of the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics is to bring cutting-edge research in these areas to Indiana University, with special emphasis on the problem of identifying the functions for the various genomic entities, in a manner that stimulates collaborations.

Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics
The Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary research center serving the Indiana University Bloomington campus. The CGB carries out independent research in genomics and bioinformatics, collaborates with and/or assists projects developed by IUB faculty, and promotes interdepartmental and interdisciplinary interactions to enhance genomics and bioinformatics at IUB.

Computational Chemistry
James P. Reilly's laboratory focuses on research in efficient biomolecular ion production, proteomics, photochemistry of peptide ions, protein structure and cellular fingerprinting, and novel time-of-flight instrumentation.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory
The Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory was established in 1986 within the Department of Mechanical Engineering to conduct research and develop software in the areas of computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer.

Current research projects include the finite element and finite volume solution of three-dimensional flow problems; high speed compressible flow calculations for internal and external flows; unsteady flow computations; moving body flows with unstructured meshes; parallel computing; load balancing for parallel computing on parallel processors and network of workstations; and high-performance grid computing.

Internet Traffic Analysis
This project is interested in studying the infrastructure scalability and vulnerabilities of expanding communication networks, by means of analyzing the statistical behavioral patterns that emerge and are observable in Internet traffic data. The idea is that such analysis may lead to robust design/planning/management tools as well as methods for mitigating and/or immunizing against attacks by early detection of anomalous patterns correlated with malicious behavior. The networks considered span a very broad range of scale, from individual interactions (e.g., social engineering, phishing, covert communication) to application-specific flows (e.g. spam, email and Web based DDoS) to global-scale Internet traffic networks (e.g. Internet2 peer networks and worms).

Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery (LEAD)
Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery (LEAD) makes meteorological data, forecast models, and analysis and visualization tools available to anyone who wants to interactively explore the weather as it evolves. The LEAD Portal brings together all the necessary resources at one convenient access point, supported by high-performance computing systems. With LEAD, meteorologists, researchers, educators, and students are no longer passive bystanders or limited to static data or pre-generated images, but rather they are active participants who can acquire and process their own data.

Proteomics at IU
The Proteomics Core Facility at the Indiana University School of Medicine opened in the fall of 2001 in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. It is a component of the INGEN cores supported by Indiana Genomics Initiative (INGEN). The Proteomics Core Facility became the academic component of the Indiana Centers for Applied Protein Sciences (INCAPS) in May 2004 and was rename to Protein Analysis and Research Center. It is a service and collaborative research resource that balances applied proteomics research with the development of new and improved methods for protein identification, characterization, and quantification. The Center encourages collaborations that apply the tools of proteomics to cutting edge biomedical research.

WIYN Observatory
The WIYN Telescope, a 3.5-meter instrument employing many technological breakthroughs, is the newest and second largest telescope on Kitt Peak. The WIYN Observatory (pronounced "win") is owned and operated by the WIYN Consortium, which consists of the University of Wisconsin, Indiana University, Yale University, and the National Optical Astronomy Observatories (NOAO). Most of the capital costs of the observatory, which amounted to $14 million, were provided by these universities, while NOAO, which operates the other telescopes of the Kitt Peak National Observatory, provides most of the operating services. This partnership between public and private universities and NOAO is the first of its kind. The universities benefit from access to a well-run observatory at an excellent site, and the larger astronomical community served by NOAO benefits from the addition of this large, state-of-the-art telescope to Kitt Peak's array of telescopes.
