DREAM Supercomputer to Enhance AI-Informed Research, Teaching

The School of Nursing is now home to DREAM (Data Reimagined, Educational, and AI Manifested), a new high-performance computing cluster deployed to bolster artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching, learning and research.

This system will enable faculty to perform cutting-edge research, develop AI-enabled tools to enhance student learning and interactions, streamline instructor evaluations, implement augmented and virtual reality-based immersive teaching and learning environments, and provide students with real-world experiences working with big data and related computing environments.

The possibilities of leveraging DREAM are innumerable, shares Viren Patel, PhD, director of information technology services. “By providing faculty and students with advanced computational tools and technologies, DREAM will help transform teaching, learning and research,” he says.
