iPlant: Cyberinfrastructure for Plant Sciences
Several Computer Science faculty and students are involved in the iPlant Collaborative,
which is building a national cyberinfrastructure to enable the solution of "grand challenge" problems in the plant sciences. The national project is led by a University of Arizona team and is
funded by a $50 million grant from the National Science Foundation. Gregory Andrews is
on the leadership team for the project. He and John Hartman are supervising a research
project to build tools for reproducing software experiments.
Kobus Barnard is leading a project to evaluate the use of
educational video searching and browsing in the context of iPlant.
John Hartman and David Lowenthal are supervising a project to evaluate the use
of graphical processing units to speed the construction of evolutionary trees for the
iPlant tree-of-life grand challenge.
Suzanne Westbrook is leading efforts to develop materials for teaching computational
thinking to college students in the physical and life sciences.
