iCSE Symposium

June 14, 2021

On May 12, 2021, Columbia organized a Virtual Research Day to highlight some of the over 60 faculty who work in the interdisciplinary field of Computational Science & Engineering at the School of Engineering.

This event represented the launch of a new initiative at the School to spur collaboration and future innovation in various industries, including manufacturing, health care, energy, automotive, chemicals, finance, aerospace, and many more.

A major research focus is to develop new methods and algorithms for solving computationally challenging and previously intractable problems in science and engineering using the latest advances in computing power, data science, machine learning, and cloud computing. No problem is too small or too big. Projects range from atomic-scale simulations to kilometer-scale civil engineering operations. The 14 short talks listed below represent the diversity and scale of our expertise.

If you would like to learn more about our initiative and ways to collaborate and engage our engineers and scientists, please reach out to Professor Jacob Fish (e: [email protected]), who is leading this effort, or Eric Vieira (e: [email protected]), the Director of Strategic Collaborations at Columbia Engineering.
