Research

CACR provides an environment that cultivates multidisciplinary collaborations. Our researchers take an applications-driven approach to Computational Science and Engineering, and currently work with Caltech groups in applied mathematics, astronomy, biology, engineering, geophysics, and experimental physics.

Computational Science and Engineering (CS&E) is the practice of computer based modeling, simulation and data analysis for the study of scientific phenomena and engineering designs. Computer modeling and simulation makes it possible to investigate regimes that are beyond current experimental capabilities and to study phenomena that cannot be replicated in laboratories, such as the evolution of the universe.
