REU Site: Multidisciplinary Computational Science at the University of Notre Dame

该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划共同资助。圣母大学的研究计算中心（CRC）为REU学生提供了一个熟悉跨学科计算研究的环境。CRC提供了对研究小组在不同范围的计算问题，包括（a）建模高度复杂的血液凝固过程，以促进心脏病，中风和血友病的理解和治疗，（B）使用分子模拟，以发展材料的物理性质和它们的化学组成之间的联系的基本理解，（c）发现太阳系以外的行星，以进一步帮助天体物理学家？（d）建立沿海海洋流体动力学的计算模型，可用于解决现实世界的问题，从处理飓风造成的沿海洪水到帮助绘制航运作业、疏浚和港口设计的海流图。学生们正在学习如何使用最新的网络基础设施工具，并接受基本科学计算技能和技术的培训。此外，REU学生接触到活跃在CRC的国际科学合作。该计划将涉及10名学生每年夏天，每个人将花10个星期在圣母大学。此外，CRC还资助了3名来自海外合作机构的国际学生。智力优势基于四个核心专业领域：工程和科学中的多尺度计算，跨学科分子建模和模拟，验证和验证，更广泛的影响包括总统信息技术咨询委员会确定的计算科学教育的重要进步国家的发展和发展？未来的科学家在他们的家乡机构和国家的直接影响。

The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. The Center for Research Computing (CRC) at the University of Notre Dame is providing a setting for the REU student to become familiar with interdisciplinary computational research. CRC provides access to research groups working across a diverse range of computational problems including (a)Modeling highly complex blood clotting processes to advance the understanding and treatment of heart disease, strokes and hemophilia, (b) Using molecular simulation to develop a fundamental understanding of the link between the physical properties of materials and their chemical constitution, (c) Discovering planets outside the solar system to help further astrophysicists? study of star and planet formation, (d) Creating computational models of coastal ocean hydrodynamics that can be applied to real-world problems, from dealing with coastal flooding due to hurricanes to helping map currents for shipping operations, dredging and harbor design. The students are learning how to use the most current cyberinfrastructure tools and receiving training on fundamental scientific computing skills and techniques. In addition, REU students are exposed to international scientific collaborations active at the CRC. The program will involve 10 students every summer, and each will spend 10 weeks at the University of Notre Dame. In addition the CRC funds 3 international students from its collaborating institutions abroad.Intellectual merit is grounded in four core areas of expertise: multiscale computations in engineering and science, interdisciplinary molecular modeling and simulation, validation and verification, and cyberinfrastructure development.Broader impacts include the critical advancement of education in computational science as identified in the Presidential Information Technology Advisory Committee report and development of the nation?s future scientists with immediate impact both at their home institutions and nationally.
