Welcome to the Center for Computational Research at the University of Rhode Island — a collaboratively funded effort by central IT Services (ITS), the Vice President for Research (VPR) and Faculty contributions through research grants.

The Center’s mission is to support, promote and grow high-level interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary computational research — high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), data science (Data) and quantum computing (Quantum) — across URI campuses and the region including ongoing research in the College of Arts & Sciences, College of Business, College of Engineering, College of the Environment & Life Sciences, College of Health Sciences, Graduate School of Oceanography and the College of Pharmacy. The computational work of over 100 faculty researchers is supported by this Center.
