Stony Brook Launches Institute for Advanced Computational Science

Stony Brook University is launching a new world-class Institute for Advanced Computational Science. In close collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Institute’s core mission is to advance the science of computing and its applications to solving complex problems in physical sciences, life sciences, medicine, sociology, industry, and finance.

The increasing availability and use of high-performance computers will change the way science will get its answers, industry will develop its products, and society will analyze its needs.

Robert Harrison, formerly of ORNL, was named founding director of the Institute. Read the Full Story.
