The mission of the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences is to provide the infrastructure and intellectual leadership for developing outstanding interdisciplinary programs in research and graduate study in computational sciences and engineering and in information technology. Organizationally, ICES reports to the Vice President for Research, and draws faculty from seventeen participating academic departments and four schools and colleges.
The Institute currently supports nine research centers and numerous research groups. It also supports the Computational and Applied Mathematics Program (CAM), a graduate degree program leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computational and Applied Mathematics, the ICES Post Doctoral Fellows Program and a program for visiting scholars through the J. Tinsley Oden Faculty Fellowship Research Fund.
Unless otherwise noted, all seminars take place in ACE 6.304 from 3:30 – 5:00 PM.
