The Research Computing Services (RCS) group is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Information Technology Services (ITS), the Office of Research and Innovation and the Research Institute for Environment, Energy and Economics (RIEEE).
RCS offers a broad range of computational services including:
- assistance with data automation and visualization,
- web hosting and data dashboards,
- High Performance Computing (HPC) resources and software development, and
- individual computational consultations to address insufficient computer hardware.
Reach out to rcs@appstate.edu for a consultation.
Mission
Our goal is to assist with developing efficient computational workflows, data visualizations, IT infrastructure and software development support for faculty and staff at Appalachian State University. We also offer consultation services if your computer hardware is insufficient for your research needs. We want to help you make sense of your data and share it with the world.
Partners
Research Computing Services (RCS) is an interdisciplinary collaboration between App State’s
- Office of Research and Innovation,
- Research Design & Analysis (RDA) group,
- Information Technology Services (ITS), and
- Research Institute for Environment, Energy and Economics (RIEEE)
offering a broad range of computational services for researchers and educators.
As part of App State's Office of Research and Innovation, Research Design and Analysis (RDA), provides consultation on grant proposal preparation, survey design, data management, data analysis and manuscript preparation.
As part of App State's Information Technology Services, Research Engineering and Support (RES) is a team that employs staff and students to provide engineering and support to App State employees, working with IT systems, networking and information security to provide robust computing services that are reliable, secure and compliant.
The Research Institute for Environment, Energy and Economics (RIEEE) assists in the conceptualization, positioning and articulation of research concepts. RIEEE helps identify, build and sustain convergence platforms or shared research infrastructures.
Each of these units offers assets within the Research Computing Services portfolio. Contact rcs@appstate.edu for a consultation.
