Our Communities of Practice (CoPs) serve as a platform to unite researchers from the University of Oklahoma who share common interests, fostering collaborative brainstorming sessions to explore potential solutions for addressing pertinent societal challenges. We encourage you to join one of our diverse and stimulating CoPs. Our CoPs offer a range of engaging opportunities for involvement every semester. If you are interested in joining a Communty of Practice please fill out the survey.
This group works to bring people together who work in Digital Humanities or would like to engage in Digital Humanities work to foster collaboration. Furthermore, this group will also be used to discuss the future steps of the Digital Humanities program at OU. Our goal is to get faculty and staff to work on or become interested in Digital Humanities. In addition to this, we also wish to link our Digital Humanities sector with that of the Arts and Humanities Forum. Dr. Sam Huskey, Dr. Carrie Schroeder, and Dr. Kimberly Marshall will be the co-facilitators of these endeavors.
For more information, please contact Dr. Kimberly Marshall at kjm@ou.edu, Dr. Carrie Schroeder at ctschroeder@ou.edu or Sam Huskey at huskey@ou.edu.
This Community of Practice is working to enhance the understanding, design, and resilience of supply chains and supply-demand networks. In today’s world, supply chains are highly interconnected and their proper operation is affected by diverse types of hazards, both natural (e.g., pandemics, earthquakes, floodings, climate-change induced events) and anthropogenic (e.g., attacks to physical and/or cyber infrastructure). Maintaining resilient supply chains is critical for societies and their well-being, having direct impact on the economy, healthcare, food, water, and energy supply, as well diverse defense-related and military functions.

This group works to bring people together who work with 3D data. The group's efforts will focus on connecting professionals from disparate departments to support and augment current 3D work and to generate new projects that support the University’s strategic vision. The group will endeavor to connect experts and novices to develop a framework of understanding around 3D workflows in order to establish knowledge scaffolding useful to all skill-levels. In addition, the group will work together establish review boards and guidelines for ethical concerns around the use of 3D data, reduce the duplication of digital preservation efforts on campus while developing centralized, robust storage solutions and unify requests for external dollars around 3D technologies at a campus level rather than duplicating requests and purchases in multiple departments.

The Human-Centered Trustable AI Community of Practice brings together researchers from OU Norman, OU HSC, and ORMF with a shared mission to develop reliable, trustable AI systems centered around human involvement in their processes, decisions, and improvements. Our community fosters collaboration across multiple disciplines, including AI and Machine Learning, Visualization and Visual Analytics, Generative AI, Information Science, Data Communication, Social Science, Psychology, and related domain sciences. Together, we aim to advance state-of-the-art techniques, solve computational challenges, and design systems that effectively address human-centered issues in AI. We host formal seminars and organize informal gatherings to showcase ongoing work, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, initiate grant proposals, and engage prospective student researchers, creating a vibrant space for innovation and research excellence.

This Community of Practice aims to integrate expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and visual analytics with domain sciences in ecology and hydrology to find elegant solutions that break down analytical barriers in understanding complex ecological and hydrological problems. It directly addresses the vision of the DOE Office of Biological and Environmental Research and the Climate and Environmental Science (CESD) division on improving our systems-level understanding and predictability through integrative theory, modeling, and experiment over various spatial and temporal scales. During the CoP, we will form research groups and discussion panels with participants to share research interests and emerging funding opportunities to foster long-term interdisciplinary research collaborations.
