“Supercomputing infrastructure is critical to advancing health care and scientific knowledge,” said Keefe Manning, Ph.D., who holds joint positions in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, and the Department of Surgery, Penn State College of Medicine.

“We’re able to create more complex environments and parameterization now because of supercomputers. Their value in science cannot be understated. As we apply concepts such as a digital twin and as we improve the infrastructure, we can modify the physiological models in a way that we never could before and accelerate our understanding.”
