Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences
Shared compute, secure enclaves, and administrative support for cross-campus deployments.
Partners powering progressive AI
Philanthropy, clinical collaborators, and infrastructure teams jointly enable our multimodal Parkinson’s program—from cohort acquisition and secure storage to validation and bedside translation.
Funding partners
Clinical collaborators
- Dr. Conor Fearon, MD PhD — Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland
- Dr. Barbara Marebwa — Senior Scientist, Michael J. Fox Foundation
Clinical design reviews with neurologists guide feature priorities, interpretation checks, and deployment protocols for ActionIntel and Free Motion tools.
Infrastructure and data partners
Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC)
High-performance GPU clusters for large-scale diffusion modeling and reinforcement learning.
Data governance
We operate within UT Austin’s secure data enclaves with audited access logs, HIPAA-compliant storage, and sponsor-aligned governance. See the resources page for intake forms and SOPs.
How contributions are used
Data collection & curation
Philanthropy sustains secure acquisition of imaging, biospecimen, and wearable datasets across UT Austin and partner clinics—critical for training and validating our progressive agents.
Computing infrastructure
Gifts support GPU clusters, high-memory nodes, and privacy-preserving enclaves that enable large-scale model development under HIPAA-compliant controls.
Clinical translation
Investments fund usability studies, regulatory preparation, and pilot deployments with neurologists, ensuring the technology reaches patients responsibly.
