Altair Research Initiative
Curiosity is what drives Altair, and it’s what propels us to always seek technology “firsts.” Of course, this curiosity wouldn’t lead to much without the groundbreaking computational science and artificial intelligence (AI) we’ve refined and optimized throughout the years. These tools are the product of years of research by some of the world’s finest minds, which is why we know exactly how important advanced academic research is to today’s world.
That’s why we seek to empower institutions and researchers with the latest, greatest tools and resources on the market. As part of this initiative, we provide organizations and researchers with access to Altair software, support grants and open-source initiatives, participate in advisory boards and memberships, and more. In all, we want to help the world’s most innovative researcher groups make advances in all the areas we’re making advances in – AI, machine learning, data science, high-performance computing (HPC), and more.
Collaboration
Altair collaborates with many people involved in academia doing advanced research. These projects can make use of or be related to Altair technology and include high-risk advanced research topics. Many of these engagements result in new talent joining Altair for a career in technology development.
Open Source
Altair initiated several open-source projects such as OpenRadioss™, Open Matrix™ Language, and OpenPBS®. We support researcher groups and organizations contributing to comparable initiatives. We’re also involved in other open-source projects like Kratos, which give back to the community.
Memberships
Altair participates in research councils and academic advisory boards. These relationships help those in academia doing advanced research understand industrial requirements and topics, while we at Altair get to learn more about the newest academic innovations and initiatives.
“Altair’s associate membership and input to the Initiative for Computational Science and Engineering (iCSE) is much appreciated. The iCSE is an effort to encourage and support interdisciplinary research in computational science and engineering, bringing together Columbia faculty and professionals to foster an environment of discovery, innovation, and technology development.”
