    • provide expertise on solving technical problems related to research analytics, including machine learning, text processing, and online experiments
  • Research Computing:
    • provide access and support for on-premise research Linux servers such as code optimization and parallel processing
    • provide support for on-demand cloud computing workloads

The team

The GSB’s DARC team is available to help GSB faculty with research computing tasks and provide advice to PhD students looking to undertake research computing tasks themselves. Analytics support is only available to GSB faculty.
