  1. KCSEKTH Computational Science and Engineering Center Olof Runborg VIC Visualization Workshop March 21, 2007

  2. KCSEKTH Computational Science and Engineering Center Interdisciplinary center Use of computer simulations to obtain new knowledge Members from CSC, SCI, ITM, BIO, EES. Collaboration with PDC. 20 Professors, 25 Senior researchers, 35 PhD Activities: multidisciplinary research, graduate school, seminars, workshops, etc.

  3. Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) Examples of CSE activities at KCSE: • Life Science • Simulation of biological structures • Materials Science • Simulation of iron structure in earth core • Fluid Systems • Turbulence simulations • Engineering Design and Optimization • Simulation of lightning strike • Computational Neuroscience • Simulation of brain activity

  4. KCSE and Visualization • KCSE represents researchers at KTH in Computational Science and Engineering. Things in common: • Large scale computer simulations • Large amount of data • Scientific visualization usually not sophisticated, desktops • Large potential gains from a visualization effort • Goals: • Advanced scientific visualization used systematically by CSE researchers at KTH • New ways to analyze and understand results of computer simulations. • Enable new discoveries? • Connections on the research side (e.g. ray tracing for other scientific problems) • KCSE a natural partner in VIC.

  5. KCSE Activities • Graduate program — Educate students to obtain a dual expertise in scientific computing and applications • Multidisciplinary research — Stimulate cooperative research projects between the departments involved in KCSE • Workshops and seminars — Widening and strengthening the network of computational scientists • High Performance Computing — Strengthening the computational infrastructure in collaboration with PDC • Industrial focal point — Facilitate the dialogue between industry and KTH within CSE • International contacts — Establish contacts with CSE researchers abroad KCSE Workshops/Seminars Graduate Program Multidisciplinary Research Industrial Focal Point International Contacts HPC

  6. KCSE Board and Executives • CSC • Olof Runborg, Numerical Analysis, Director • Johan Hoffman, Numerical Analysis, Board • Per Öster, PDC, Board • SCI • Dan Henningson, Mechanics, Chairman • Philipp Schlatter, Mechanics, Director of Studies • Gustav Amberg, Mechanics, Board • Gunilla Efraimsson, Aeronautical and Vehicle Eng., Board • Mats Wallin, Theoretical Physics • BIO • Hans Ågren, Theoretical Chemistry, Board • Pawel Salek, Theoretical Chemistry • ITM • Börje Johansson, Materials Science, Vice Chairman • Anna Delin, Materials Science, Deputy Director

  7. Our Vision KTH as a leading university in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) KCSE is established to realize this vision KCSE Workshops/Seminars Graduate Program Multidisciplinary Research Industrial Focal Point HPC
