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.

• We are pleased to announce that our CAM student, Mauricio Santillana, has been selected as one of seven fellows of the 2008 Environmental Fellows at Harvard University. The two-year program was created to enable recent doctorate recipients to use and expand Harvard's extraordinary resources to tackle complex environmental problems.
• We are pleased to announce that Jim Rath has been chosen as the AMS Congressional Fellow for 2008-09 by the American Mathematical Society (AMS).
• We are pleased to announce that Dr. Ghattas' research team in ICES received the TeraGrid Capability Computing Challenge Award for a paper entitled "Towards Adaptive Mesh PDE Simulations on Petascale Computers" (by Carsten Burstedde, Omar Ghattas, Georg Stadler, Tiankai
Tu, and Lucas Wilcox).
• It is our pleasure to announce that Ludovic Chamoin has received the John Argyris Award for the best paper by a young researcher in the field of Computational Mechanics.
• We are pleased to announce that Mr. Peter O'Donnell, Jr. and Dr. Tinsley Oden have been elected members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for their outstanding contributions to their profession, the nation, and the world.
• We are pleased to announce that Ludovic Chamoin, Dr. Oden’s Postdoctoral Fellow, was one of two winners of the 2008 Melosh Medal received during the 20th Annual Melosh Competition for the Best Student Paper in Finite Element Analysis.

• We are pleased to announce that Dr. Tom Hughes has received the JSCES Grand Prize of the Japan Society for Computational Engineering and Science. It is the highest award of the society and he is the first recipient.
• We are pleased to announce that Dr. Robert Van de Geijn and Field Van Zee have made possible the release of libFLAME version 2.0 through a collaboration between UT Austin and UJI (Spain).
• We are pleased to announce that Dr. Mary Wheeler has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Engineering by the Colorado School of Mines Board of Trustees for her contributions to the curriculum and research of their institution. Dr. Wheeler will receive this award during the commencement ceremony on May 9, 2008. Congratulations, Dr. Wheeler!
• ICES has been selected by the Department of Energys National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to develop new computer modeling techniques that can provide more reliable predictions of complex systems. Dr. Robert Moser is the Principal Investigator, and the Director of the Center for Predictive Engineering and Computational Sciences (PECOS). Read the UT article .
Attention: the date of this seminar has changed from Thursday, June 28 to Tuesday, July 3.
