The Vermont Research Open Source Program Office (VERSO) at the University of Vermont, is your go-to resource for all things open science

Heard and Understood

Body

This organization supports the mission of the Vermont Conversation Lab at the University of Vermont to understand and promote human connection in serious illness.

Social-Ecological Gaming and Simulation (SEGS) Lab

Body

The Social-Ecological Gaming and Simulation (SEGS) Lab is a transdisciplinary research lab focused on modeling and simulating Social-Ecological Systems (SESs) from a complex systems perspective. 

Morphology, Evolution and Cognition Laboratory

Body

The Morphology, Evolution and Cognition Laboratory was founded to create generally intelligent machines through crowdsourcing, embodied cognition, and computational evolution. See our People and Publications pages (or check out our YouTube Channel and Twitter feed) to learn more.

Frietze Lab

Body

Dr. Seth Frietze investigates the molecular mechanisms of gene expression in the pathological progression of disease ranging  from blood cancer genomics to persistent viral infections, including varicella zoster virus (VZV), which causes herpes, chickenpox and shingles. 

University of Vermont Neurobotics Lab

Body

The Neurobotics Lab at the University of Vermont designs autonomous robots and decision-making systems inspired by biology, psychology, and neuroscience, with applications in fields like healthcare and the environment. Led by Professor Nick Cheney, the lab specializes in bio-inspired optimization algorithms for artificial neural networks and is part of the Vermont Complex Systems Center.

Pespeni Lab

Body

The Pespeni Lab studies how marine populations adapt to local conditions and may develop resilience to future environmental changes, focusing on linking genes to phenotypes. Using marine invertebrates, the lab integrates genomics, physiology, developmental biology, and ecology to uncover adaptive traits and the processes shaping them

The Joint Lab

Body

The Joint Lab is a collaborative explorations across sciences with models and data hosted at the Vermont Complex System Center. It includes the Laboratory for Structure and Dynamics  (LSD) which focuses on the coevolution of structure and dynamics in complex systems and  Complex Data Laboratory (CDL) focused on making sense of complex data by bridging the gap between statistics, computer science and complex systems.

Gotelli Lab

Body

The Gotelli Lab studies the factors that determine species composition, abundance, and community structure in animal and plant populations, focusing on competition, predation, and extinction risk. Current research includes aquatic ecosystem tipping points, climate change impacts on ant communities, and biodiversity analysis using null models.

CS Crew Student Club

Body

The CSCrew is a common ground for people interested in computer science at UVM. Join us for workshops, guest speakers, study nights, and more

Spatial Analysis Lab (SAL)

Body

The Spatial Analysis Laboratory (SAL) at the University of Vermont is a leading GIS research facility that collaborates with industry, government, and non-profits to solve complex spatial problems. Their work includes ecosystem assessments, land-cover mapping, biodiversity analysis, LiDAR processing, and web-based mapping.

Emily Bruce Lab

Body

The Emily Bruce Lab is a research laboratory studying RNA viruses, within the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics (MMG) and the Translational Global Infectious Disease Research (TGIR) COBRE at the University of Vermont.
