The department operates a variety of computational platforms, ranging from PC to mainframe, to address varied needs. For word processing and communications, graduate students and faculty have 24-hour access to departmental computer labs housing 20 up to date PCs and Macintoshes with laser printers.

There are 2 computational labs in the Chemistry Department. Each is equipped with approximately 96 cores, organized as heterogeneous Linux clusters. The quantum chemistry cluster has production and development versions of the in-house code (i.e., undmol), as well as the widely distributed GAMESS and NWChem packages. In addition, computational chemists have access to UND supercomputers, including dedicated job queues.

UND NANOFOUNDRY Equipment Information

Instrument Access to Graduate Students and Research Fellows

To arrange for sample analysis user need to contact faculty listed as contact providing also training, approvals for training completion, and scheduling of the equipment.

Each potential research student user needs to:

1. be recommended by his or her research advisor to the faculty member in charge of the equipment,
2. contact the faculty member in charge of the instrument,
3. be trained by the faculty in charge of the instrument or by a person designated by that faculty (not by his or her research advisor), and
4. receive approval from the faculty responsible for the equipment.

Omission of this process or lack of communication may lead to loss of access to instrumentation.
