Interdisciplinary Computational Science Town Hall Meeting
Interdisciplinary Computational Science
Town Hall Meeting
Tuesday, February 12, 2008
On Tuesday, February 12, 2008, faculty from all schools and colleges on the University of Colorado, Boulder campus were invited to participate at a town hall meeting on interdisciplinary graduate education in computational science and engineering, high-performance computing and supercomputing research support needs, and other topics related to the formation and pursuit of the initiative. The meeting was convened by Stein Sture, Vice Chancellor for Research and Dean of the Graduate School, and Mark Ablowitz, Professor of Applied Mathematics.
This town hall meeting followed a series of five open meetings which took place during the fall 2007 semester involving faculty members from very different disciplines.
The purpose of the meeting was to stimulate discussions and gather input from the campus community related to the many issues concerning the formation of an interdisciplinary graduate-level program on computational science and engineering at both the doctoral and masters levels, including professional masters and certificate programs, related curriculum, resource needs, research computing needs, and next steps.
The following brief presentations were made at the meeting and are available for viewing by clicking on the speaker's name:
