The Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) is an organized research center created to function as an interdisciplinary research center for faculty and graduate students in computational sciences and engineering, mathematical modeling, applied mathematics, software engineering, and computational visualization.
The Institute currently supports five research centers and numerous research groups, but new research units in distributed and grid computing, computational biology, biomedical science and engineering, computational materials research, and many others are planned over the next four years. It also supports the CAM Program, a graduate degree program leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computational and Applied Mathematics; the ICES Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, which supports outstanding computational scientists who have recently completed doctoral studies in an area relevant to research conducted at the Institute; and the J. Tinsley Oden Faculty Fellowship Research Program, which is designed to bring outstanding researchers and scholars from academia, government laboratories, and industry to collaborate with ICES faculty and students.
