APP and Southern University Team Up to Train 150 Louisianans to Lead in Energy-Efficient Computing
Last year, APP and Southern University teamed up to increase worldwide access to high-performance computing and won a $1.5 million award from the National Science Foundation. The team’s goal is to build a bigger user community around HPX, a software library developers can use to create faster, more powerful, and energy-efficient applications.

APP-led Team Turns Agricultural Waste into Liquid Fuels for Transportation
Researchers at APP are developing new electrochemical technology that could provide new revenue streams for Louisiana’s farmers and petrochemical industry.

APP Research Enables Better Flood Protection for Homes
For decades, Louisiana has been building homes to an elevation standard where 4 out of 10 are expected to flood at least once in 50 years. Shocked? Then you’re not alone, says APP Professor Carol Friedland. She leads a team that just helped set a new, national elevation standard for construction.

Meet APPS’ Sarah Okpe: First to Build an Operator Interface for BENTELER Steel/Tube
When BENTELER Steel/Tube Manufacturing Corporation technicians begin work in the international company’s new $21 million threading facility at the Port of Caddo-Bossier later this year, they’ll be using an interface designed by an APP Shreveport graduate student.

Partnering to Double Louisiana’s Energy Workforce
APP’s energy team, called FUEL, works to help double the state’s current energy workforce, including by enabling Louisiana’s community and technical colleges to invest in people and programs that are closely aligned with industry needs.

Why Industry Joined APP’s FUEL Team
