Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Institute of Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) was created at the University of Texas at Austin to provide the infrastructure and intellectual leadership for strong interdisciplinary programs in computational engineering and sciences.
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 maintains the Computational and Applied Mathematics Program, a graduate degree program leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computational and Applied Mathematics. It also supports the ICES Post Doctoral Fellows Program and a program for visiting scholars through the J. Tinsley Oden Faculty Fellowship Research Fund.
Many of ICES' professors are leading experts in partial differential equations (PDEs) and numerical analysis for PDEs, such as:
- Ivo Babuska
- Luis Caffarelli
- Bjorn Engquist
- Omar Ghattas
- Thomas J.R. Hughes
- Pierre-Louis Lions
- J. Tinsley Oden
- William Press
- Mary Wheeler
