Computational Science and Visualisation

The research programme is established to meet a rising demand for competence in research activities that needs high performance computing.

Examples of research areas that use high performance computing are reservoir simulations, seismology, marine technology, molecular dynamics, chemical process technology, structural engineering, materials technology, bioinformatics, and medical diagnostics. Common for all these areas is that they typically involve interdisciplinary activities: physical modelling, mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, and algorithm development, resource demanding calculations, visualisations, and securing quality in the simulation results.
