Center Director
At a time when the cell phones in our pockets have more computing power than the machines that ran the Apollo 11 mission, top-flight computational expertise, resources, and tools are the backbone of most successful scientific pursuits and commercially viable research advances. Engineers and scientists use the burgeoning field of computational science to manage huge volumes of data rapidly and economically to construct and test models of intricate phenomena.
Faculty and staff at the University of Miami Center for Computational Science (CCS) harness computing power, applied mathematics, and application sciences - such as physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and earth sciences - to address the most pressing challenges of our generation.
Our center collaborates with experts across the University and around the globe, engaging in a broad spectrum of nationally and internationally recognized research on the most pressing problems of our generation: improving human health, monitoring climate change, and finding alternative energy sources.
The CSS maintains supercomputers that are capable of performing trillions of calculations per second, as well as offices on the medical campus, Coral Gables, and marine campuses. But beyond our state-of-the-art resources, we are also proud to be an intellectual home for research across diverse disciplines. We provide core services in high-performance computing and software engineering to support the University and our industry partners.
With programs in bioinformatics, physical sciences, chemoinformatics, data mining, and data visualization, the center facilitates collaborative projects between departments and institutes. It is an exciting time for the University of Miami's growing research enterprise, and the Center for Computational Science welcomes both academic and industrial partnerships as we work together to foster tomorrow's innovative discoveries.
Dr. Nicholas Tsinoremas, CCS Director, an international leader in computational genomics and bioinformatics, brings over 20 years of academic and industrial experience to the University of Miami.
