Ke Betty Li is a researcher in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Their research focuses on the investigation of how various contaminants affect the ground water quality and how they could design remediation systems. An important approach they are using for this type of investigation is modeling contaminant fate and transport in the subsurface on computers. The resources provided by Tufts Cluster Center are very important to them. Their simulations usually take days or even weeks on a single CPU. The clusters can either expedite each simulation if they use simulators that enable parallel computing, or allow them to simulate multiple serial processes simultaneously. The significant improvement in computing efficiency is critical for them to commit work quality to funding sponsors. They expect that their work will improve the current understanding of contamination in the subsurface, provide cutting-edge assessment tools, and stimulate innovative treatment technologies.
