The collaboration adds Stanford to a growing list of academic institutions worldwide that are utilizing EdgeCloud’s hybrid GPU infrastructure. Other notable universities include Seoul National University, KAIST, University of Oregon, Michigan State University, and Singapore‘s NTU, among others.

Accelerating Advanced AI Research

Professor Vitercik, who serves as an assistant professor of Management Science & Engineering and Computer Science at the Stanford School of Engineering, focuses her research on machine learning, algorithmic reasoning, and the intersection of computation and economics. The AI research lab at Stanford Engineering will benefit from EdgeCloud’s on-demand GPU computing power to support various innovative research initiatives.

“The access to scalable computing resources is critical for our research,” noted Ellen Vitercik, whose work explores how AI can enhance optimization algorithms and decision-making processes.

Key Research Areas Supported by Theta EdgeCloud

The partnership will enable Stanford researchers to advance work in several key areas, including the application of large language models (LLMs) for optimization. Specifically, they will investigate how LLMs can improve cutting plane separator configuration and equivalence checking of optimization formulations.
