The Power of One: How TCNJ’s ELSA Cluster Bridges the Gap Between Classroom and Research
|
|
|
Shawn Sivy gives a tour of the ELSA Cluster to students.
|
Located in Ewing, New Jersey, The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) is a highly ranked public college known for its rigorous undergraduate programs and commitment to student-faculty research. While primarily a teaching-focused institution with approximately 7,000 students, TCNJ was recently designated as a Research College and University (RCU) in the Carnegie Classification framework, reflecting its average annual research expenditure of approximately $2.7 million. Central to this research mission is the Electronic Laboratory for Science and Analysis (ELSA) High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster.
CaRCC spoke with Shawn Sivy, HPC System Administrator at TCNJ, to learn how a “one-man show” supports a diverse research community while preparing undergraduates for the modern STEM workforce. |
