iPlant Gets ARL Help
ARL's Nirav Merchant is contributing to the iPlant Collaborative's $50M project startup as iPlant's interim director of cyberinfrastructure development. The project will develop a centralized database of research information on plant biology and offer researchers the tools needed to solve the major science problems they face.
The five-year project will identify the most effective combination of computing and software platforms to find the computing "sweet spot" needed to best help researchers around the world solve the most difficult scientific problems, said Merchant, also ARL's director for biotechnology computing. For more information, see the 1/31/08 Tucson Citizen article.
