At Wright State University, a public university in Dayton, Ohio, faculty and students are using the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) to support hands-on coursework and data-driven research across campus. 

For Mike VanHorn, Wright State’s Campus Champion for OSC, connecting users with these resources is a central part of his role. As senior computer systems administrator at the College of Engineering and Computer Science, VanHorn works closely with faculty and students while also helping expand awareness of OSC across campus. 

At Ohio University, students and researchers are using the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) to take on increasingly complex, data-intensive work—from simulating medical research problems to creating digital art with artificial intelligence. 

Across the United States, higher education institutions are navigating the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence (AI) landscape, as faculty and students assess how to effectively incorporate machine learning, data analytics, large language models, and other AI tools into their classroom instruction and research.  

To discuss emerging best practices and spotlight national resources available for academia, the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) hosted a National Science Foundation (NSF) ACCESS Regional Workshop on AI April 14-15, 2026, at The Ohio State University that attracted nearly 100 faculty, administrators, and students.  

The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC)’s 2025-2026 Research Report highlights the Center’s role in supporting and expanding the use of high performance computing (HPC) to advance research, innovation, and workforce development in Ohio and beyond.
