Administration Team & Center Staff
The administration team at the School of Computing manages academic programs, faculty and staff coordination, student affairs, marketing and communications, and engagement efforts to ensure the school's smooth functioning and success.
WyGISC aspires to become a premier interdisciplinary academic center in geographic information science research and education while strengthening our unique leadership role in service and outreach to the university, state, and region. We're focused on the development and education of geospatial information and technologies and their applications. Our mission is to advance the knowledge and application of geographic information science and technology through research, education, and service.
The Data Science Center will provide an academic hub for data science at UW, providing the key academic component in a "UW Data Science Collaboratory" (DSC, Library, ARCC, WyGISC, WNA, Maker Space, Extension along with disciplinary partners including AHC, INBRE Data Core, WYNDD, RMH, 3D Viz, NSF WyACT, etc).
Faculty & Research Scientists
The School of Computing faculty are highly interdisciplinary, collaborating across diverse fields to drive innovative research, enriching educational experiences, and leveraging their varied expertise to tackle complex computational challenges.
The graduate computing scholars, students, and affiliates at the School of Computing drive the institution's leadership in computing research, education, and engagement while cultivating Wyoming's computing workforce by demonstrating exceptional potential early in their careers.
The School of Computing encompasses a diverse range of research scientists who investigate various aspects of applied computing. These scientists typically engage in both theoretical and practical research aimed at advancing the field and addressing real-world challenges.
Derecho Professors
The UW Derecho Professor designation provides named professors in any academic field with up to 5 million core hours of access to both traditional compute nodes and accelerators on the Derecho supercomputer at the NCAR Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC). Leveraging and enhancing the UW-NCAR partnership, the initiative contributes to recruiting and retaining UW faculty whose research program in computing will be strengthened through a flexible and guaranteed allocation of this resource.
Advisory Boards
Our advisory boards provide strategic guidance and counsel to the School of Computing and WyGISC, leveraging expertise from both internal and external stakeholders. Their role involves supporting decision-making, enhancing academic programs, fostering partnerships, and contributing to the school's overall growth and advancement.
