EdgeDiscovery

Summer/Fall 2025

Welcome to the Summer/Fall 2025 issue of EdgeDiscovery, where we explore the ideas, people, and infrastructures driving inclusive innovation and accelerating discovery across the research and education ecosystem. This edition highlights the transformative power of collaboration at the intersection of AI, quantum computing, and high-performance computing. Engage in thought-provoking conversations with leaders like Dr. Dan Stanzione of the Texas Advanced Computing Center, Dr. Ilkay Altintas of the San Diego Supercomputer Center, and Dr. Frank Wuerthwein of the National Research Platform, whose work is shaping the future of open science, data-driven education, and equitable access to advanced technologies. Discover insights from Dr. Manish Parashar of the University of Utah on responsible AI and national data infrastructure, and Michael Johnson of the New Jersey Innovation Institute on translating research into real-world impact. Plus, take a behind-the-scenes look at SHI International’s AI & Cyber Labs, where industry and academia meet to accelerate responsible innovation. Together, these stories illuminate the partnerships, leadership, and vision that continue to define Edge’s mission—building a future grounded in innovation, access, and purpose.
