Computational Science and Engineering

A new paradigm in research and development.

Computer simulation has revolutionized the research tools of engineers and is nowadays, besides theory and experiments, essential to many scientists.

While the development of high performance computing (HPC) started many decades ago and has provided powerful computing capabilities, it has recently been recognized that integrating HPC to mathematical modeling, numerical algorithms and large scale data bases of observations will lead to a new paradigm in science and engineering.

Program’s objectives

This Master’s is an interdisciplinary program which is designed to provide the students with a combination of skills in areas such as high performance computing, numerical mathematics, multiscale and multi-physics modeling together with a wide range of elective application courses.
