Interdisciplinary Research Groups

Computational Modeling

Scientists perform both theoretical and computational research on topics such as biosensors, orthopedic implant materials, vascular flow, and nanotechnology. Researchers identify electrical, mechanical, thermal, and other properties using several parallel computing platforms on campus, along with NSF and DOD supercomputer centers around the country.
