About CERI
Mizzou CERI Center Mission
To serve as a multi-university, multi-disciplinary center in areas relating to Cyber, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics to foster information technology innovations.
Mizzou CERI Center Scope
- Manage the research computing program by focusing on developing applications necessary to perform cutting-edge research and innovations that will span multiple disciplines
- Lead initiatives to pursue major funding related to research computing
- Work with campus, industry and UM System to build cutting-edge cyber infrastructure and help coordinate submission of large research proposals to acquire such infrastructure
- Promote curriculum development and workshops for broader understanding and usage of cyber infrastructure within the college and across campus
We were formed in 2019 with support from a highly competitive 2019 UM System Tier 1 grant and Mizzou Engineering. The center builds on research strengths and serves to meet cyber needs across the UM System and its peer institutions, as well as the funding priorities of industries and federal agencies.
