The Power of Human Connection

How opening up to a friend during a time of grief led to the formation of the Oklahoma Supercomputing Center

With a flagship campus in Norman, a flourishing suburb of Oklahoma City, The University of Oklahoma (OU) might not be your first thought when it comes to academic research — but OU is experiencing impressive growth. CaRCC had the pleasure of speaking with with Henry Neeman, director of the University of Oklahoma (OU) Supercomputing Center for Education and Research (OSCER) to learn how his program was born out of a conversation at the time of his brother’s passing, and how it now serves the needs of OU’s growing number of researchers.
