SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING RESEARCH FOCUS GROUP
at Mississippi State University
Mission and Vision:
The mission of this research focus group is to promote scholarship through multidisciplinary research in Computational Science and Engineering, and to increase Mississippi State University (MSU) visibility in scientific computing on national and international arenas.
This research focus group is an interdisciplinary entity that addresses computational challenges of complex problems in science and engineering through state-of-the-art models, algorithms, techniques and tools. It fosters strong research collaboration between various academic departments, colleges, and research centers on the MSU campus.
The goal of this research focus group is to provide a "nucleus" for new frontiers of knowledge and research, and an awareness of existing expertise and capabilities. The ongoing work of this group will provide a mechanism to effectively assess and disseminate this knowledge, to enhance the intellectual resources and promote research collaboration.
The group will act as an "incubator" to provide the nurturing and promotion of new knowledge and research ideas through a selective and focused process.
