Dr. Jian Tao has been granted NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) University Ambassadorship. DLI Ambassadors are a select group of DLI Certified Instructors committed to teach DLI workshops and host DLI lab meetups at universities, academic conferences, and events at no cost to attendees (academic students, staff, and researchers only). The COE HPC team will be leveraging the resources and opportunities offered in this academic-industry collaboration to promote HPC education for both undergraduate and graduate students at A&M Engineering. We will offer training opportunities for research staff and faculty members to catch up with the latest computing technologies with the support from NVIDIA.
