Two New CSRC Projects
September 1, 2009
The CSRC has recently received two National Science Foundation awards titled "Undergradute Student Scholarships for Participation in Interdisiplinary Computational Science and Engineering Research" and "Acquisition of a Computational Mathematics Cluster." The goal of the Undergraduate Student Scholarship program is to increase the number of under-represented, under-served students who complete degree-awarding programs in the STEM disciplines at SDSU. The objectives are to increase STEM enrollments, improve retention and graduation rates for under-represented student groups in STEM disciplines, and increase the number of students who seek further graduate level education that can lead to careers in research. The requested Computational Mathematics Cluster (CMC) will fill the need for group research projects and course and research-related student projects. It is estimated that 32 nodes of the requested cluster would be continuously occupied by the proposed research (coupled nonlinear systems, Antonio Palacios). Roughly 24 cores each designated for the projects (computational wavepropogation and biomedical imaging, Peter Blomgren), (combustor simulation, Guus Jacobs), and (coastal circulation simulation, Jose Castillo), and for the undergraduate projects.
