Google Cloud Talk at Lincoln for Research and Teaching

The School of Computer Science invites you to attend a talk by members of Google’s Cloud Platform team on Monday 10th December 09:00-10:30 in INB2102.

This informative talk, delivered by Google developers Wesley Chun, Ryan Matsumoto and Marc Cohen will be focused on Cloud Computing and the benefits it can offer your respective schools for both research and teaching activities. The talk is designed for staff to learn about Cloud Computing (vendor agnostic), followed by information on the Google research and teaching grants available to academics, which can be used to access significant cloud resources (free of charge) to enhance research and teaching.

Derek Foster in the School of Computer Science is a recipient of a Google Cloud grant, which provides resources to enhance the student learning experience, while giving students the opportunity to gain valuable, industry transferable skills in areas such as scalable database systems, and IoT platforms.

Google Cloud research grants are available for deploying across many application areas and include highly scalable cloud services such as GPU clusters, HPC, AI/ML services, Bigdata analytics, to Kubernetes (container computing) and IoT platforms. Research enabled through the use of a research grant could be published by Google as a case study, more info here https://www.blog.google/products/google-cloud/google-cloud-platform-announces-new-credits-program-researchers/
