Centre for Computational Science and Simulations (C2S2)
Computer simulations (‘in silico’ experiments) play a crucial role in all the domains of science, engineering and finance, business and other branches
Indispensable for pre-emptive determination of course and possibilities, prior to actually doing an experiment in the laboratory or a real-life scenario.
Exploring Science without boundaries: ‘Computational Simulations’ are considered to be the important bridges that allows one to solve the intricate problems in different domains of science
To explore the limitless possibilities of scientific computing, modeling, and simulations through innovation in education and research
To create a state-of-art facility in scientific computing for education and research catering to students of science and engineering.
To introduce curriculum in scientific computing, modelling and simulation at under-graduate and post-graduate levels.
To balance teaching and practice in scientific computing and provide hands-on experience to the students for problem solving. To promote interdisciplinary research employing scientific computing across the disciplines of science and engineering.
To promote industry-academia network through workshops and specially designed corporate training programmes.
To provide consultancy solutions to industry-facing problems through computational approach.
Attract funding through external funding agencies.
To promote interdisciplinary research employing scientific computing across the disciplines of science and engineering. Compliment experimental research by simulations across the domains.
RESEARCH AREAS
For smooth functioning of C2S2 a Centre Management Committee (CMC) is proposed. The structure, role and functioning of these committees is given below.
This committee will be responsible for the smooth functioning of the Centre, including down- time free operation of the facility on a 24x 7 basis, managing user interfaces and clocking use time, facilitating access to all users, resolving issues arising out of user experiences, managing AMCs, suggestions regarding upgradation of hardware and software and improvement of physical infrastructure.
The committee will meet at least three times a year. The CMC will consist of:
