Computational Sciences entail interdisciplinary research, tackling complex scientific and engineering problems under the unifying concept of computation. Computational sciences today are essential for the advancement of sciences. This development is accompanied by a paradigm shift from traditional research via experiment and theory to scientific discovery and validation through advanced computation. At the University of Reading, the computational sciences scheme brings together a large number of researchers from Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Economics and Engineering with leading competences in computation.
The goals of the computational sciences theme include:
- Developing the fundamental mathematical methods and algorithms needed to model complex physical, chemical and biological systems
- Developing methods and environments that enable scientists to efficiently implement these models on the highest performance computers
- Develop efficient tools to manage, analyse and visualise the data that results from computational experiments, and through advanced networking to link the computing facilities with the scientists
- Develop important applications which can only be tackled in a multidisciplinary way
