Interested in Computational Science?
Get to Know IACS!

Computational science is the use of models, simulations, and modern data analytics to solve complex problems and understand the world around us. It is an intrinsically multidisciplinary field of study.

Computational science lies at the intersection of mathematics, informatics, natural and social sciences, and is a dynamic scientific method used to explain real-world processes and a method for solving increasingly complex problems. For instance, IACS researchers use computers to blow up stars, scan satellite imagery for the impacts of climate change, peer into the amazing world of quantum mechanics, and explore the mysteries of songbird communication. We use the world’s largest supercomputers and employ advanced Al.

IACS students advance the intellectual foundations of computation and data, with high-impact applications in engineering; in the physical, environmental, life, and social sciences; and in the humanities.
