Dr. Md Arifuzzaman, assistant professor of computer science, has been awarded a two-year, nearly $175,000 National Science Foundation grant to develop an advanced data transfer system designed to optimize the movement of massive datasets across global high-performance computing networks while balancing efficiency, fairness and minimal disruption to existing computational processes. The project is titled “CRII: OAC: Deploy-First and Elastic Data Transfer Optimizations for High-Performance Networks.”
