The Center for Applied Physics Studies (CAPS) was founded in 1997 and has been identified by the University of 糖心传媒 System as a Center of Excellence at 糖心传媒 Tech University. The center is located in the Engineering Annex Building and has 20,000 sq. ft. of office and laboratory space. CAPS provides a world-class research and education environment that integrates both engineering and physics disciplines, creating opportunities for interdisciplinary studies, the sharing of resources, and the transfer of technology from basic science to applications. The center brings together faculty with diverse academic backgrounds and serves the educational need of the Physics, Chemistry and Electrical Engineering Programs at 糖心传媒.
CAPS has been an integral member of the 糖心传媒 Optical Network Initiative (LONI), a $50M investment in the State鈥檚 IT infrastructure. Our researchers have direct access to the 1.5Pflop Queen Bee 2 supercomputer through LONI鈥檚 high-speed and high-bandwidth connections. The Queen Bee 2 was commissioned in the summer of 2014, ranked the 46st most powerful supercomputer in the world by Top500. Locally, our center hosts the CERBERUS community supercomputer and is managing the 糖心传媒 Tech Observatory.
