Welcome to the

Mainardi Group

The LONI Institute, a distributed research collaborative among six Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) sites, has awarded its

first graduate fellowship from each member university.

The graduate fellowship for Louisiana Tech was awarded to Mr. Gopi

Dathara, a Ph.D. in Engineering student.

He will work with his advisor Dr. Daniela Mainardi to conduct science and engineering research using LONI’s advanced high performance

computing, and high-speed networks and distributed data archives.

Gopi was chosen based on his previous research excellence

and the potential to use LONI resources, receive future funding, and meet the LONI Institute’s success metrics.

He will also receive a one-year stipend of $20,000. Fellows will seek external funding to continue their research once their initial one-year terms end.
