The Center for Scientific Computation And Mathematical Modeling (CSCAMM) is a mathematics institute in the University of Maryland, College Park. CSCAMM is located on the UMD campus, in close proximity to UMD's Department of Mathematics and Department of Computer Science.
Mission
CSCAMM is a major research center in Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computation within the University of Maryland, College Park. The center is one of the three sponsors of the department of mathematics's AMSC program.[1] It works as the major hub of the research network, KI-Net.[2] The main mission of CSCAMM is to support and stimulate the interdisciplinary research activities using Applied Mathematics (in particular, scientific computation and mathematical modeling) as their main analysis, simulation, and computational tools.[3]
Background
The center was created in 2001 by the University of Maryland, College Park as a major research project.[4] Eitan Tadmor had been the center's first director from August 2002 to July 2016. Starting August 2016, Pierre-Emmanuel Jabin will be the center's second director. Agi Alipio is the center's director of administrative services.[5]
Programs
CSCAMM maintains an active visitors program and helps organize international workshops and conferences in Applied Mathematics and its applications.[6] During each school semester, CSCAMM also hosts weekly seminars which cover a wide range of mathematical subjects.[7]
People
There are eight faculty members working in CSCAMM: Radu Balan, Jacob Jacob Bedrossian, Kayo Ide, Pierre-Emmanuel Jabin, Doron Levy, Dionisios Margetis, Eitan Tadmor, and Da-Lin Zhang.[8]
