Our engineers will be at the forefront of developing innovative, scalable, software solutions and attenuating the current constraints of technology in research computing. SSEC will revolutionize the way scientists, software engineers, and researchers interface with big data, as well as expand current computing capabilities\u2014and visions for the future\u2014far beyond what was previously thought possible.<\/p>\n<p>JHU has long been a world leader in the broader domains of medicine and public health as well as a wide range of science and engineering fields.

and analysis for COVID-19) and other unique large scientific data sets curated by IDIES, like the archive for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and large numerical simulations will be key leverage points
