WEDNESDAYS, Computer Science Building, Room 402 (unless otherwise noted)

Seminars begin ~12:30 p.m., Lunch will be provided ~12:20 p.m.

These seminars are partially supported by the Princeton Institute for Computational Science and Engineering (PICSciE)

PRIME Research Seminar

Research seminars in conjunction with PRIME (Program for Research on Immune Modeling and Experimentation)

PICASso "Successes" Seminar

Presentations will usually be given by local students and postdoctoral researchers, leading researchers are periodically invited to present special sessions about key "Successes of Computational Science" in their field; i.e., areas of success in the science that could not have been (or easily been) achieved without computational science. These seminars are indicated with a key icon.

PICASso Research Seminar

Graduate students, post-docs and young faculty present overviews of their research projects and/or tutorials on computational methods they are using.
