Computational Science Laboratory
"Inspired Computational Solutions"


In the Computational Science Laboratory we do fundamental research in numerical methods and develop novel algorithms for the adaptive solution of ordinary and partial differential equations, linear algebra, optimization, methods to model systems with uncertainty, etc. We develop high performance software for large scale-parallel platforms. We apply our new technologies to many important fields. Examples include modeling of atmospheric pollution for better environmental policies; simulation of the stochastic chemical processes inside living cells and understanding the complex biological regulation networks; design of optimal trajectories for the future generation of satellites at Jet Propulsion Laboratory; assimilation of real data streams into atmospheric models for improved forecasts of extreme events like hurricanes; etc. Computational platforms range from multicore workstations and accelerated architectures (GPUS, IBM cell) to large scale parallel supercomputers (see e.g., System X - http://www.tcf.vt.edu).
