Beyond the provision of central IT services, the IT Center is engaged in application-oriented (research) projects. In doing so, we focus on aspects of high-performance computing as well as methods of visual analysis of technical-scientific data.

Our work is characterized by interdisciplinary collaboration with institutes, chairs and researchers at RWTH Aachen University, Forschungszentrum Jülich, as well as other research institutions worldwide and partners in industry.
