Welcome to Research Computing! Our goal is to help you do your research better. Please let us know how we may be of service. -Gurcharan S. Khanna, Director

Our mission is to foster research at RIT by partnering with researchers to support advanced research technology resources in computation, collaboration, and community building among RIT research faculty, staff and students.

Our guiding principles are communication, collaboration, and service. We aim to know the researchers, their research, and their needs. We want to involve researchers in our planning process and communicate our capabilities and vision to researchers.

Our goals are to help researchers help themselves, collaborate on research projects, develop innovative technologies, provide core resources, and build a research user community.
